Overview
A pilot conducting a takeoff from a mountain ridgeline in gusting wind conditions encountered an uncontrolled yaw and roll immediately after liftoff, resulting in the aircraft nosing over and coming to rest inverted.
Sequence of Events
The pilot reported initiating the takeoff with an estimated 5-10 knot headwind. During the liftoff, a gust of wind raised the right wing, causing the left wing to strike the ground. This impact pivoted the airplane to the left. After pivoting, the aircraft continued over the ridgeline, traveling downhill. It subsequently nosed over and came to rest in an inverted position.
Damage
The accident resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. There were no reported mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident.
