Analysis
During a landing attempt at a private grass airstrip, the acft bounced several times and the student plt initiated a go-around before the plt instructor was prepared. The acft cleared departure threshold powerlines in a nose high attitude at low airspeed and settled to the ground in a mush/stall. There were no mechanical difficulties reported with the aircraft.
