What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On 06/26/00 at 16:15 CDT, an American champion 8GCBC single-engine airplane N249SF, while taking off from cox field airport, Paris, TX. Was substantially damaged. The pilot in command (PIC) reported that she was monitoring the takeoff by the student pilot (sp), during take off the student pilot failed to compensate for the crosswind condition and was using aileron control to "steer" away from the crosswind by applying right stick input. The PIC then instructed the sp that she would help, she pushed the stick to the center, he briefly resisted then allowed the stick to center. The aircraft airspeed increased to the point of good control, the student pulled bak on the control stick and the aircraft pitched up 60 degrees. The PIC instructed the student to get the nose down, the aircraft climbed 50 to 60 feet n the air with a slight right bank and rapidly approached a stall, pushing on the stick as hard as possible the PIC could not overcome the student. The PIC firmly instructed the student to let go, at this point the student relinquished the controls. The aircraft settled hitting the grass to the right of the runway, bounced, hit the right wing then cartwheeled, landing upside down approx. 220 ft. from the runway.
