As he pushed the right rudder to make a right turn, the airplane continued straight ahead up an embankment. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical problems with the flight controls. A postaccident examination revealed that the airplane had come to rest on a 10-degree slope with damage to the horizontal stabilizer. No mechanical anomalies with the braking and steering systems were found.
