After take-off the subsequent climb to 200 feet seemed sluggish with a low airspeed, although the engine rpm was normal. Pilot started turning left (back to the aerodrome) as the aircraft started to lose height and airspeed. Engine normal. At 100 feet, wing dropped and aircraft descended out of control to collide with the ground.
