| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The private pilot was taking off from an off airport landing site with a variable left crosswind. The pilot had recently purchased the airplane, and had accumulated about 15 hours in the make and model. The pilot said that the airplane lifted off about 2/3 of the distance down the takeoff area, and was too slow to climb. The left wing came up, and the right landing gear struck the ground.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the aircraft. Contributing factors were the crosswind condition, the pilot's lack of total experience in make/model of the aircraft, and the pilot not achieving a climb on takeoff.
