## Narrative

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

PILOT INITIATED TAKEOFF ROLL BY SLOWLY INCREASING ENGINE POWER. DURING TAKEOFF ROLL THE AIRPLANE DRIFTED LEFT. PILOT STATED THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT RUDDER AUTHORITY AND SO INCREASED ENGINE POWER INTENDING TO INCREASE RUDDER AUTHORITY.  THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT ABOUT 1200' FROM THE DEPARTURE END OF RUNWAY, AND CONTINUED ACROSS A GRAVEL ROAD IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY.  EVIDENCE THAT THE LEFT MAIN GEAR ROLLED UP A SMALL RAISED AREA OF DIRT/ROCKS.  AFTER PASSING THE RAISED AREA THE PLANE IMPACTED A 4X6 POST THAT SUPPORTED A SATELLITE DISH WITH THE LEFT UPPER AND LOWER WINGS, SEPARATING THE OUTBOARD 2'-3' SECTION OF THE LOWER WING.  THE PLANE THEN NICKED A TREE WHILE CONTINUING FORWARD, SPINNING ABOUT 270 DEGREES COUNTER-CLOCKWISE AND CAME TO REST UP-RIGHT WITH BOTH MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.  THERE WAS NO POST CRASH FIRE NOR EVIDENCE OF AIRCRAFT SYSTEM OR CONTROL FAILURE PRIOR TO IMPACT.
