ACCORDING TO INTERVIEW STATEMENTS BY THE PILOT, DURING THE TAKEOFF TO THE SOUTH, THE AIRCRAFT FAILED TO ATTAIN SUFFICIENT AIRSPEED TO SAFELY CLIMB OUT TO GROUND EFFECT TO CLEAR THE WIRES. THE PILOT THEN OBSERVED A ROAD GRADER NEAR THE RUNWAY END AND CHOSE AN ATTEMPT TO FLY OVER THE WIRES RATHER THAN ABORT THE TAKEOFF AND GO UNDER THE WIRES.  HOWEVER, ONCE HAVING CLEARED THE WIRES, HE STATED THAT THE RIGHT WING OF THE AIRCRAFT STALLED, BANKING THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT. HE RECOVERED ONLY TO EXPERIENCE A LEFT WING STALL, BANKING THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT. THE LIFT WING TIP THEN CONTACTED THE GROUND FOLLOWED BY THE AIRCRAFT NOSE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
