Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that during takeoff, he applied full right rudder and “lightly” applied the right brake as he advanced the engine power to about 30%. The airplane began to veer left, and he reduced the engine power to idle. Subsequently, the airplane continued to veer left, exited the runway, and came to rest in a ditch. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
