The airplane sustained substantial damage when it veered off the left side of runway 27 and hit the wind sock with its left wing. The solo student pilot, who was on an instructional cross-country flight, was not injured. The student pilot reported that he "taxied onto the runway for departure and the airplane began to pull to the left. I then added more correction but couldn't prevent the aircraft from going off the runway. The left wing hit the wind sock and then the plane came to a rest." The student pilot had a total of 58 hours of flight time with 9.9 hours as pilot in command. The observed surface winds at 1554 were 240 degrees at 15 knots, gusting to 21 knots.
Probable Cause: The student pilot failed to compensate for the crosswind condition and failed to maintain directional control. Factors included the crosswind and the windsock.
