What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The vehicle was on a training flight at Benton Airport Kansas (1K1). During takeoff roll on runway 34, the machine began to drift left of centerline. While continuing to drift to the left it became airborne to an altitude of 10 feet above ground level as estimated by the pilot. The left wing tip struck saplings along the left edge of the improved area adjacent to the runway. Upon impact with the obstruction, the fuselage rotated to the left, settled to the ground on the right side and skidded to a stop. The occupants exited the machine unassisted and received minor injuries during the incident. The pegasa weight shift machine meets the criteria in 14 CFR part 103 for an ultralight vehicle and was operated for instructional purposes only under aero-sports connection (asc) exemption number A10JRRR. Law enforcement officers were present at the scene but no report was filed. Pilot induced.
