The airplane veered off the runway during the takeoff roll and collided with a berm. The student was on his first solo flight. After flying with his instructor for 3 hours, he attempted solo pattern work. A full takeoff and landing sequence was completed successfully. During the second takeoff, after reaching rotation speed he "looked up," and the airplane had drifted off centerline. It continued off the runway and encountered a berm, which launched it airborne. The airplane stalled about 10 feet above ground level. The nose collided with the ground, the engine detached, and the airplane came to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: the student pilot failed to maintain directional control of the airplane during the takeoff roll.
