He lifted off a couple of times and settled back down while in "Ground Effect". I think that Stinsons have Flaps, and if so, not using them sealed their fate!! When he started the RH Turn, that bled off enough airspeed to put them down!! He was way too heavy or inadiquately configured on too hot of a day to pull it off!!

Having gone down 6 times and left one @ just over 100' I can definitely relate!!
