A WITNESS RPRTD THE PLT/OWNER MADE AN OFF-ARPT LANDING. THE WITNESS SAID HE WENT TO THE ACFT WHILE THE ENG WAS STILL RUNNING & TALKED TO THE PLT.

HOWEVER, SHORTLY AFTER LIFT-OFF, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB OVER TREES, THE ACFT ENTERED A STEEP DESCENT & CRASHED IN A NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE. THE ACFT CAME TO REST ON ITS NOSE WITH NO MOVEMENT AFTER IMPACT. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT & ENG REVEALED NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS & NO EVIDENCE OF OVERHEATING.
