Read the full NTSB narrative
According to the pilot, as he approached his destination airport, he requested airport advisories over the UNICOM frequency. He was advised that traffic was landing on runway 24, and the wind was reported at 310 degrees at 9 knots. During his first approach he believed he was too high and executed a go-around. He re-entered the pattern and as the airplane descended to the runway, it encountered windshear and stalled. The pilot made an attempt to go-around, but the airplane was too low and slow. He was unable to maintain the airplane's altitude, and it landed hard and veered off the left side of the runway. The airplane struck trees and the right wing was torn from the fuselage. The reported wind at the accident airport near the accident time was from 290 degrees at 10 knots, gusting to 18 knots.
