Incident Overview
The pilot reported that the aircraft veered to the left immediately after rotation during takeoff. In response, he advanced the propeller, power, and mixture controls forward. Subsequently, the left wing and left main landing gear made contact with the ground. The aircraft then entered a spin while still in contact with the ground.
Post-Incident Findings
Following the accident, investigators examined the aircraft. The left propeller was found in a feathered position. Further ground testing of the propeller system was conducted, which indicated that the feathering and unfeathering mechanisms operated normally. No malfunctions were detected in the propeller system during these tests.
Pilot Actions
According to the pilot's account, the aircraft's unexpected leftward deviation occurred just after lift-off. His immediate action was to push the propeller, power, and mixture controls to the full forward position. Despite this input, the aircraft continued to the left, resulting in the left wing and gear striking the ground.
Ground Contact and Rotation
After the initial ground contact, the aircraft began to rotate or spin while still moving along the ground. The specifics of this motion were not further detailed in the available information, but the incident concluded with the aircraft coming to rest on the ground.
