The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
At 1525 EDT on 04/06/2021 N61EF a bushby mustang 2 crashed at korh (Worcester, MA) after takeoff from runway 33. In a written statement the pilot in command (PIC) stated that the aircraft lifted off normally and was accelerating, he estimates that at approximately mid field at an altitude of 6 feet the aircraft began to roll to the right and turn to the right. He applied left pressure to the stick but there was no control response. The aircraft was now in a right bank of approximately 30 degrees. At this point the PIC aborted the takeoff. The aircraft impacted the ground on the grass between runway 32 and taxiway bravo collapsing both main landing gear. The aircraft came to a stop on taxiway bravo. In a written statement the instructor pilot who was providing transition training stated that at 4 to 6 feet altitude the PIC applied left aileron to stop the aircraft from rolling right. The PIC put both hands on the stick pushing left and exclaimed
"It's rolling right and I can't stop it." The instructor pilot then attempted to move his stick full left aileron, the control stick would not move left. The airplane continued rolling right to a 30 degree right bank. The instructor pilot then pulled the throttle to idle as the aircraft struck the ground.
