The aircraft sustained substantial damage when it departed the runway and impacted terrain during an aborted takeoff. The pilot reported, "during takeoff, the wind changed directions and created problems getting the airplane off the ground. At the end of the runway, in [a] last effort, I changed direction of the aircraft crossing a highway and two ditches to a avoid a house." The obstruction was reported as approximately 50 feet from the end of the runway. The pilot stated that the "tail came up a little late", the airplane lifted off, and then started settling. Winds in the area were reported as variable at 3 knots. The pilot reported no anomalies with the aircraft or engine prior to the accident
Probable Cause: The pilot's delay in aborting the takeoff and his intentional maneuver to avoid the obstruction at the end of the runway. Contributing factors were the road and ditch.
