That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N2601D's record changes.
The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that during landing on a remote unimproved airstrip, he overshot his touch down point about 150ft. During the landing roll the airplane veered to the right side of the runway and he decided to go-around. During the takeoff climb, he "pulled up when I saw that I was not going to clear trees," and the airplane aerodynamically stalled. The airplane's left wing descended and struck trees, and the airplane spun 180° and impacted the ground.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, the empennage and the fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
