The pilot was unable to maintain control of the airplane due to the wind and it went down an embankment. The airplane nosed into the ground and sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage. The pilot report that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was departing from runway 32 with winds from 290° at 27 gusting 37 knots.
