At an altitude of about 30 feet in the initial climb, the pilot commenced a left procedural turn while continuing to climb at 70 knots to approximately 100-150 feet. He then noticed that the airspeed had reduced to about 60 knots so he lowered the nose. Airspeed continued to reduce so he stopped the turn while heading northwest and lowered the nose to increase airspeed. The aircraft continued to sink and touched down in a ploughed paddock. The pilot maintained climb power during the ground roll, hoping that the aircraft would take off again. After a ground roll of 300-400 metres through the ploughed paddock, the aircraft struck a low earth embankment and overturned.
