The student pilot reported that he rotated about 60 knots to a nose-up attitude during takeoff. He said that the left wing raised 'abruptly†due to a wind gust and that he overcorrected with left aileron and 'set the plane back down on the runway.†The airplane was then heading for the edge of the runway and the pilot reduced the airplane throttle. The airplane exited the runway, including its safety area, and nosed over in a plowed field. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane prior to the accident flight.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control while taking off in gusting winds.
