Probable cause

The pilot did not maintain adequate airspeed during a go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.

NTSB narrative

The pilot and passenger were on a local flight, when the pilot decided to land in a farm field. According to the pilot, during the landing, the airplane bounced three times, so he applied power to perform a go-around. The pilot added that the engine was at full power; however, the airplane stalled, clipped treetops, impacted the ground, and came to rest inverted, sustaining substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact problems with the airplane.
