The winds at the time of departure were south to south west and increasing slightly estimated at 5 to 10 KTS. This was based on the pilots? Stated observation.

The pilot taxied out to the north end of the field and conducted an engine runup. The pilot started the takeoff roll and utilized as much of the runway as possible. The pilot stated that the initial roll was ?a bit slow.? The runway is grass and there is a slight gradient in the runway. The pilot stated that all engine indications were normal and the engine indicated it was producing rated power. The aircraft came off the ground slightly farther down the runway than what the pilot was expecting but not so FAR down that it caused concern to the pilot. The pilot stated that the situation started to rapidly deteriorate almost immediately upon becoming airborne. As the airplane came off the ground, the pilot stated it was as if the airplane stopped accelerating. The pilot stated at this point he recognized he had a serious problem. The pilot stated his flight path was much flatter than normal and it became obvious that clearing the obstacles at the end of the runway was not likely. The pilot cut the throttle to idle and made an aggressive wheel landing in an effort to get on the ground and apply brakes to stop. The pilot stated that he touched down and rolled a very short distance and then the aircraft overturned. The pilot stated that he did not remember actually applying the brakes. However, the field was soft and rough and the pilot stated that he was anxious to stop to avoid crossing a ditch and the entering a road at the end of the runway. The airplane flipped tail over nose causing substantial damage. Both the pilot and his passenger exited the aircraft with no injuries.
