He stated that during the accident takeoff run, about one-quarter down the runway, the airplane's main wheels sank into about 10 inches of soft mud. The airplane then nosed over, and sustained substantial damage to the wings, and rudder.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to identify an unsafe/hazardous condition. A factor associated with the accident was soft terrain conditions.
