THE PLT WAS MAKING A TAKEOFF IN THIS LARGE SINGLE ENGINE SINGLE SEAT ACFT AFTER ONLY 1 HOUR OF EXPERIENCE. THE PLT SAID THAT THE ENGINE OR PROPELLER MALFUNCTIONED. THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE SIDE OF THE RWY THROUGH A FENCE AND STRUCK 4 HORSES. AN FAA INSPECTOR COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE OF A PROP OR ENGINE MALFUNCTION. THIS 4000 HP R-4360 ENGINE CREATES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TORQUE AT FULL THROTTLE WHICH REQUIRES PLT INPUT TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.
