Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the aborted takeoff.
Full Narrative
According to the pilot/owner, his original intent was to start, run-up, and then taxi his airplane on the day of the accident. At the completion of the run-up, the pilot taxied the airplane onto the active runway for a "fast taxi" and applied full engine power. The airplane achieved takeoff speed, the pilot "pulled back on the yoke" and the airplane lifted from the runway. The pilot stated that he aborted the takeoff, touched down, lost directional control, and collided with a hill and a fence. He reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with his airplane.
