## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-5) THE PILOT BEGAN TAKEOFF ROLL WITH 5-10 KNOTS DIRECT CROSSWIND FROM THE LEFT. AS HE RAISED THE TAIL, HE FAILED TO INPUT PROPER CONTROL MOVEMENTS TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND DRIFTED TO THE LEFT, STRUCK 9 FOOT HIGH CORN WITH THE LEFT WING AND THEN GROUND LOOPED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT 90 DEGREES. SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION OF N2303K, BY INSPECTOR JAY WILKINS, OF THE CMH FSDO, DETERMINED THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WINGTIP, RIGHT AILERON, RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR AND RIGHT ELEVATOR TIP. THIS WAS DISCUSSED WITH NTSB INVESTIGATOR BRIAN RAYNER ON 07/22/98, NTSB NORTHEAST REGIONAL OFFICE, AND HE CONCURRED WITH INSPECTOR WILKIN'S DAMAGE DETERMINATION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
