What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Young eagles flight. During takeoff transition to flight at the runway midpoint the aircraft started a roll to the right causing the right wing tip to contact the ground. The nose dropped and the prop struck the ground with enough force to cause the carburetor to separate. At this point the aircraft started an increasing spin to the right at which point the left wing contacted the ground and the aircraft began to spin to the right. The aircraft continued its spin for 1 revolution and came to a stop at the runway north side tree line. The flight controls were intact. The pilot stated that he did not feel the passenger on the controls. Both wings, tail gear struts, lower cowling, engine and propeller are damaged.
