What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot stated that he had rotated too early during takeoff at a fairly steep attitude. A crosswind gust blew the aircraft left of the center line. The pilot over corrected to the right and believes he may have reduced power. A stall ensued.
Aircraft damage: right main gear bent under the fuselage, nose gear sheared off at bottom of strut, both wingtips damaged, right wing upper skin near fuselage exhibited wrinkling. The propeller damage was minimal, but the aircraft engine experienced sudden stoppage.
