Analysis
The plt reported that during his preflt run-up, everything seemed normal. Using short field takeoff procedures, he rotated at 40 KTS & reached an alt of about 10 ft AGL. However, he stated that the acft did not want to accelerate to the best angle of climb speed of 54 KTS, so he aborted the takeoff. The acft continued off the end of the rwy, went down an embankment & was damaged. An exam revealed that a spark could not be obtained from the top spark plug in the #2 cylinder. Also, excessive build up of lead deposits was noted on the bottom plugs. However, the plt noted no decrease in power during the takeoff. The density alt was estimated to be 2958 ft. the plt reported the wind was from the northwest at 10 KTS. At wausau, WI, the 1950 CDT wind was from 220 deg at 5 KTS.
