NTSB Factual Report

The pilot lost control of the airplane shortly after liftoff, when a gust of wind lifted the left wing and the right wing struck the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and empennage. The pilot said there were no mechanical problems with the airplane, and that the accident could have been avoided had he waited for more favorable wind conditions.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's decision to takeoff with an unfavorable wind which resulted in a loss of directional control, and collision with terrain.
