On takeoff from a narrow strip in a cropped paddock, the pilot misjudged directional control of the aircraft. The aircraft veered off towards the side of the cleared strip and the undercarriage dragged through the heavy crop. The pilot immediately closed the throttle to abort the takeoff. The drag of the crop on the undercarriage caused the aircraft to overturn.
