Summary
The pilot with three passengers intended operating the Warrior in the training area for about one and half hours. During the take-off roll, the pilot became concerned with the apparent lack of aircraft acceleration. Immediately after liftoff, the aircraft settled and, suspecting a reduction of power, the pilot closed the throttle. During the landing the aircraft overran the end of the runway sustaining minor damage. A subsequent engineering inspection found that the engine was capable of normal operation.
