Analysis
The arpt manager observed the acft start a go-around about 2 ft above the rwy with full wing flaps extended. Flaps remained full down as the acft attempted to climb before colliding with trees aprx 1/4 mi from the arpt. According to the plt, the go-around was initiated with power and the application of carburetor heat when the eng lost power. A successful eng test run was performed by investigators. Go-around procedures recommended by the manufacturer include carburetor heat cold and flaps retracted to 20 deg. In the week before the accident the plt resumed flying after an aprx 4 year lack of flt activity.
