The initial portion of the airplane's takeoff on runway 17 was normal. The wind was from 250 degrees at 15 knots. Just as the airplane lifted off, a crosswind blew it off the left side of the runway. The airplane struck a fence and nosed over. The pilot said that it was "likely that a wind gust in excess of the aircraft's capability was encountered."
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff. A contributing factors was the gusty crosswind condition.
