Analysis
During an approach, the plt lowered 40 deg of flaps for a spot landing. As he approached the rwy, he banked left & added power to avoid hitting a tree. However, contact was made & he initiated a go-around. As the acft clipped some trees to the left, the nose was lowered & the flaps were raised. However, the acft would not climb. The acft continued in a stalled condition & an emergency landing was made in rough terrain. The right main gear nosewheel, both wing tips & the propeller were damaged.
