A pilot was conducting touch-and-go operations. Following touchdown, the flaps required repositioning from landing configuration to takeoff configuration. The corresponding control lever is located on the far right. Adjacent to it, at the same lateral position, is the landing gear up and down lever. The pilot inadvertently misidentified the controls, electing to retract the landing gear instead of selecting the appropriate flap setting. The aircraft subsequently experienced a propeller strike with the runway surface, resulting in partial blade damage. Despite this, the aircraft achieved liftoff as the pilot maintained full throttle. With compromised propellers, the aircraft exhibited significantly degraded climb performance and ultimately impacted terrain in a meadow approximately 600 meters from the departure end of Runway 14, rendering the aircraft destroyed. The pilot egressed uninjured.
