Takeoff Conditions
The airstrip's runway 27 was bordered by trees on the north and west sides. Winds were reported from 210 degrees at 15 knots, gusting to 20 knots. The pilot stated that during takeoff, there was turbulence from a left quartering headwind.
Mid-Altitude Event
At an altitude of 150 to 200 feet above the ground, the pilot reported that the right wing "dipped severely down (on knife edge)." He corrected the attitude, but the airplane started to buffet. The pilot then took action to avoid entering the wooded area, banking the airplane to the left to fly over a corn field with a headwind.
Descent and Terrain Contact
Despite flying into a headwind, the airplane continued to descend. It descended until it contacted the terrain in the corn field. The pilot stated that just after touchdown, the nose gear contacted a "large rock" and the airplane spun around prior to coming to rest. No further details were provided regarding aircraft identification, occupants, or post-accident conditions.
