Analysis

The pilot reported that on his first approach to land, the runway appeared to be short, so he made a go-around. He reported that he then used a short field technique. He stated that he did not like the looks of the runway, so he attempted another go-around. Reportedly, he initiated the go-around with full flaps and started a left turn after lift-off. At about that time, the aircraft stalled and crashed.
