According to the flight instructor, the pilot receiving instruction was seated in the left seat and manipulating the flight controls during the takeoff. As the airplane became airborne, it yawed left. The instructor intervened and aborted the takeoff. However, before the airplane landed again, the left wing impacted the airport windsock on the north side of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the wing's leading edge. The instructor reported no mechanical malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot receiving instruction's failure to maintain airplane control during takeoff and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action.
