Factual narrative
THE PILOT SAID THE TAKEOFF WAS BEGUN WITH 1/2 FLAPS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER BREAKING GROUND, THE AIRCRAFT NOSED UP AND ROLLED TO THE RIGHT. FORWARD PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE YOKE AND FULL LEFT AILERON WAS APPLIED. FULL RIGHT RUDDER WAS ALSO APPLIED BUT THE AIRCRAFT YAWED LEFT AND FLEW INTO THE TREES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE LEFT WING HIT A TREE AND THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE GROUND. AFTER SKIDDING SOME DISTANCE THE AIRPLANE TURNED INVERTED AND STOPPED. INSPECTION OF THE RUNWAY SHOWED A GOUGE MADE BY THE TAIL SKID THAT WAS VISIBLE FROM ABOUT 100 FEET FROM THE SOUTHERN END OF THE STRIP TO THE LIFTOFF POINT NEAR MIDFIELD ON THE 3015 FOOT STRIP.
