Incident Overview
According to the pilot, the takeoff roll proceeded normally until the airplane had traveled approximately 500 feet along the runway surface. At that point, the tailwheel-equipped airplane began to veer to the right. Despite the pilot's attempts to stop the airplane, it continued moving for another 250 feet before impacting a fence.
Pilot Background
The pilot reported that the majority of his flying experience was in tricycle-gear airplanes. He had accumulated only about 3 hours of flight time in the accident airplane, which was equipped with a tailwheel configuration.
Mechanical Condition
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane during the incident. No issues with the engine, flight controls, or other systems were reported.
Summary
The incident involved a loss of directional control during takeoff in a tailwheel airplane. The pilot's limited experience in this type of airplane may have been a factor, though the source does not explicitly state causation.
