What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)Pilot was allowing his cousin, who had just soloed, to fly the pattern at the Gilmer County Airport (49A). On final, about 1/3 the way down the runway, the student pilot was told to go around. The student pilot applied power too slowly and was advised to "go full power". As he did, he pulled rapidly back on the control yoke at which time the pilot in command took the controls. The left wing dropped sharply and the PIC applies full right rudder and aileron. Altitude was lost in an attempt to regain airspeed, and flaps raised tp 60 degrees, gear not retracted. The PIC flew about 3000' before electing to land in field, he did not think he could clear the trees ahead. The aircraft went into a field, 45 degrees from runway heading, thru 2 fences, and stopped about 2000' northwest of the airport. The aircraft stayed upright. Damage to: left main gear door, left wing leading edge, left flap, right wing leading edge, right wing root leading edge, nose cowling, and bottom of fuselage. Pilot allowed student to put him in a position where he could not recover safely.
