NTSB Factual Report

The pilot stated that during takeoff, approximately 500 feet down the runway surface, the tailwheel-equipped airplane veered right. Although the pilot attempted to stop the airplane, it continued 250 feet until impacting a fence. The pilot stated that the majority of his time was in tricycle gear airplanes and he had about 3 hours in the accident airplane. He said that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot lost directional control of the airplane during takeoff. A contributing factor was the pilot's lack of experience in the accident airplane make/model.
