(-5)Mr. Mayo was taking off from the Onawa (K36) airport in N427S on runway 15 when he lost directional control and the aircraft departed the runway to the left. The aircraft sustained minor damage to the nose gear, nose section, and the propeller. The pilot stated that he applied right rudder and right brake, with "no effect."
