Analysis
To accomodate his pax's request to be transported close to his destination, the plt landed the acft on a 350 foot-long dirt road. The pax disembarked & the plt attempted to take off on the same road. The acft became airborne in grnd effect, climbed aprx 5 ft then settled back on the road. The acft overran the end of the road & entered sandy terrain. The plt stated that he realized the acft would not accelerate in the sand, so he aborted the takeoff. As the acft slowed to a stop it nosed over.
