Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The pilot failed to maintain directional control during an aborted takeoff.

Factual narrative

The pilot reported that this was his first flight in the airplane. After liftoff the airplane would not climb, therefore, he decided to land the airplane from an altitude of 4 feet. The landing attempt resulted in a bounced landing. The airplane veered off the runway at 40 knots, traveled through muddy grass, and nosed over. The pilot stated that he misperceived the problem and did not apply the required control input force to effectively move the elevator, which would have resulted in greater pitch control.
