## Narrative

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

(-23) UPON ARRIVAL ON SCENE, I WAS MET BY EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THEY HANDED ME A CONTROL YOKE AND HE SAID THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER/PILOT. HE SAID THAT ON TAKE OFF, JUST AFTER ROTATION HE REALIZED HE HAD NO LATERAL CONTROL. HE REDUCED THE POWER IN HOPES THE AIRCRAFT WOULD SETTLE BACK TO THE RUNWAY. INSTEAD IT DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT WHERE THE RIGHT WING MADE CONTACT WITH THE TREES AND THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER AND CAME TO REST ON ITS BACK. BOTH THE PILOT AND THE PASSENGER RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. THE CONTROL WHEEL AND GUST LOCK PIN ARE BEING SENT TO NTSB WASHINGTON FOR EVALUATION AND A DETERMINATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AN AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTOR FROM THIS OFFICE WILL INSPECT THE WRECKAGE TO AID IN THE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION.
