## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

PILOT DEPARTED CARTER ULTRALIGHT AIR PARK AND MIS-CALCULATED HIS TAKE OFF PERFORMANCE AND COULD NOT CLEAR THE OBSTACLES AT THE END OF THE AIRPORT.  THE PILOT CLIMBED STEEP AND EXECUTED A LH TURN TO AVOID OBSTACLES, THIS RESULTED IN A AERODYNAMIC STALL AND THE AIRCRAFT SUBSEQUENTLY IMPCATED TREES AND CAME TO REST IN A FIELD ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT.  THE PILOT REPORTED NO LOSS OF ENGINE POWER.
