Analysis
The flt instructor (CFI) was providing dual instruction to the owner who was completing proficiency training for his biennial flt review. The CFI reported that during takeoff, there was a variable x-wind at 18 gusting 27 KTS. After climbing about 50 ft, the acft encountered a gust, stalled & rolled to a left wing low attitude. The aircrew took remedial action & leveled the wings, but the acft mushed into the ground before recovering from the stall. The CFI acknowledged that during the initial climb, the acft's speed was slower than normal for the variable x-wind condition.
