Analysis
The acft props touched the rwy during a wheels-up approach and the plt initiated a go-around with bent props. The acft climbed to about 100 ft AGL with less than full power. The wings began to rock,the left wing dropped and the acft fell straight down to the ground. Twelve prop strikes were found half way down the rwy. The first 8 inches of each prop tip were curved 90 degs to the rear and exhibited heavy chordwise scrathes and gouges. A witness in an acft waiting to takeoff had broadcast 'do not land, your gear is up,' as the accident acft passed abeam their position on the taxiway.
