Skid marks and ground scars indicated that the non-certificated pilot, who was not authorized to use the airplane, lost control during the night takeoff roll. The airplane swerved to the right and went off the runway into the grass, and the left wingtip and horizontal stabilizer dragged on the ground. The airplane was found abandoned beside the runway when airport personnel arrived for work at 0530. An investigation conducted by local law enforcement personnel revealed that the pilot was the airplane owner's 18-year-old son, who had received approximately 6 hours of dual instruction in the airplane, but had not been endorsed for solo flight.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the takeoff roll (at night).
