Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot's loss of directional control during takeoff which resulted in impact with the ground.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that he was practicing touch-and-go landings in the airport traffic pattern. He made one trip in the airport traffic pattern and touched down on the runway. After touching down, he applied full power to take off and the airplane veered and banked to the left. The pilot further reported that the left wing impacted the ground when the airplane was about 20 to 30 feet above the ground. The airplane rotated around the wing and impacted the ground off the left side of the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, firewall, and both wings.
The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
