Narrative:
The student pilot was returning from a local solo flight and encountered a strong quartering tailwind on final approach. While he was landing the airplane, it ballooned. The pilot aborted the landing and performed a go-around. As he retracted the flaps for the go-around, the airplane stalled and collided with the runway.

Probable Cause: the failure of the student pilot to maintain airspeed while raising the flaps during the go-around.
