| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll the airplane began to drift left of the runway centerline. He applied right rudder, but did not have enough rudder authority to correct the airplanes direction. The airplane drifted off the left side of the runway and impacted grass with the right wing swinging it around and impacting an embankment resulting in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot also reported that, if he had let the tail lift off the ground more gradually, he likely would have had enough rudder authority to maintain centerline. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of directional control during takeoff roll.
