Narrative:The private certificated pilot was taking off from a narrow, off-airport site under Title 14, CFR Part 91, when the accident occurred.

He said the airplane veered to the right, into the alders and small spruce trees. According to the pilot, there were no known mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident, and that the airplane sustained damage to the left wing leading edge, tip, and spar, and damage to the right wing leading edge. The left landing gear and propeller were also damaged.
