## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT, THE AIRCRAFT OWNER, DEPARTED NARROW GRASS PRIVATE STRIP THAT NORMALLY HAS SOME CROSSWIND COMPONENT. AIRCRAFT, PULLED LEFT DURING INITIAL APPLICATION OF TAKEOFF POWER, AND CLIPPED BUSHES AT SIDE OF RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET FROM THE TAKEOFF POSITION. THIS CAUSED FURTHER DEVIATION TO THE LEFT WHERE THE LEFT WING IMPACTED A TREE AND THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT AND THE NON PILOT RATED PASSENGER.
