On the take-off from runway 12, with a wind from the right, the pilot applied the right rudder for wind. The pilot noticed that he was drifting left and the tail raised. The pilot continued drifting left and aborted the take-off. The propeller struck the ground because the tail was lifted by what the pilot thought was a wind change-a wind from the rear.
