The pilot, accompanied by three passengers, took off from runway 31 on a discovery flight. He reported that after rotation he was unable to accelerate and the aircraft gradually lost height. The aircraft hit the ground in a field about fifty metres from the end of the runway. It came to rest on its nose and a fire broke out in the engine. The four occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft before it was destroyed by the fire.
