Incident Overview
According to the pilot's report, the wind was from 010 degrees at 13 knots, gusting to 16–17 knots. The pilot stated that departing on runway 35 would have caused a delay due to other aircraft. He therefore decided to expedite his departure by using runway 08.
Takeoff and Gust Encounter
The pilot described performing a normal crosswind takeoff, but lifting off at a higher than normal speed. Just after lift-off, he encountered a gust of wind. The plane then yawed to the left. Subsequently, the aircraft descended back to the runway while the nose was angled to the left.
Aftermath
After contacting the runway, the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
