The aircraft crashed into trees on takeoff.
During takeoff from the 540m grass airstrip in good weather conditions(light crosswind), the aircraft became airborne for a short while, touched down and became airborne again. Possibly due to a tailwind or windshear, the airplane was unable to climb high enough to clear the obstructions at the end of the runway.
