Accident Details
The pilot landed to the west at a private airstrip, using moderate braking to stop on a steep downhill portion of the runway. After landing, he backtaxied and loaded passengers and baggage, then backtaxied further for takeoff.
During the subsequent takeoff roll to the west, the pilot reported that he was unable to maintain directional control using left rudder and brake. The main wheels drifted off the right edge of the runway. The pilot aborted the takeoff but was unable to stop before the aircraft tipped to the left, resulting in damage to the left wingtip and horizontal stabilizer.
Pilot Observations
The pilot noted that the wind had been from the west at 5 knots gusting to 10 knots, but had shifted to the northeast. He also observed that the right main wheel had been dragging more than the left wheel as the aircraft drifted from the hard-packed runway onto the softer shoulders.
Additionally, the pilot remarked that when operating at high temperatures and in high density altitudes, more time should be allowed for brakes to cool if they were used heavily just before takeoff.
