Accident Summary
The airplane collided with objects during the initial climb phase of takeoff, causing substantial damage to the aircraft. The incident occurred on the pilot's second flight of the day.
Sequence of Events
The pilot used runway 8 for takeoff and rotated at approximately 60 knots. About halfway down the runway, the pilot initiated a left turn at a bank angle of 30 to 45 degrees when the airplane was about 100 feet above ground level. During the turn, at 20 degrees of bank, the pilot reported feeling a shudder and the left wing dropping. In response, the pilot relaxed back pressure and leveled the wings. Subsequently, the airplane's right landing gear impacted a 5-foot-high fence. The airplane continued beyond the fence and collided with other objects.
Weather Conditions
Before takeoff, the pilot did not receive a formal weather briefing but visually checked the weather and windsock. The windsock indicated an 8-knot wind from the south. After exiting the airplane, the pilot noted that the windsock then showed a gusting wind from the southwest. The closest official weather observation station, located about 16 nautical miles southeast of the accident site, reported winds from 220 degrees at 17 knots, gusting to 21 knots.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.
