The airplane was departing a 2,088 foot-long, turf runway, in night visual meteorological conditions. The pilot stated that the airplane accelerated normally; however, he felt uncomfortable not being able to see the tree line at the end of the runway and described his view as, 'looking into a black hole.' When the airplane was about three-quarters of the way down the runway, he elected to abort the takeoff. During the aborted takeoff, he applied heavy braking; however, the airplane entered an area of mud located at the end of the runway, and nosed over. The pilot reported 315 hours of total fight experience, of which, about 70 hours were in make and model. Additionally, the pilot had accumulated 15.3 hours of night flight experience; which included about 1 hour of night flight time and five night takeoffs and landings during the 20 days prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper decision to abort the takeoff. A factor in this accident was the dark night conditions.
