The pilot was performing touch-and-go landings. He completed a normal approach and landing, and, while preparing to increase power for takeoff, he became distracted by a bird that passed by the right side of the canopy. A wind gust then caused the airplane to veer off the runway centerline. The pilot took off and the airplane remained low and slow. As he entered a slight bank to the right, the wind lifted the left wing causing a greater angle of bank. The pilot was not able to correct the situation. The right wingtip impacted the terrain and the airplane collided with a runway light. There was damage to the propeller and both wings. The pilot reported that he had not experienced any mechanical malfunction with the airplane prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: Failure of the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft during a crosswind takeoff, which resulted in a collision with the terrain and a runway light.
