Accident Sequence
A pilot was attempting a takeoff from runway 35 of a sod field. The sod field was described as soft and wet, so the pilot elected to use a soft field takeoff technique. Shortly after becoming airborne, the airplane settled back onto the runway. The main landing gear touched down first, followed by the nose wheel. The nose wheel became mired in the mud and subsequently broke off. The airplane then departed the runway and nosed over.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical difficulties with the airplane.
Damage
The nose wheel was broken off as a result of becoming stuck in the mud. The airplane overturned, but the specifics of other damage are not documented. No other mechanical issues were noted.
