According to the pilot, he was departing Runway 35. Immediately after rotation, the airplane turned to the left and he was unable to maintain runway heading or alignment with the application of corrective control inputs. The airplane impacted terrain adjacent to the runway in a left-wing-low configuration and rotated to the right resulting in substantial damage to the airplane. The pilot and passenger were not injured. An examination of the airplane revealed that the right wing was wrinkled, the right horizontal stabilizer separated, and that the firewall was pushed up and aft. An inspection of the airplane revealed no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded safe operation of the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during takeoff.
