What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot admitted to loss of control of biplane while rolling for takeoff at cbf rwy 18. Aircraft began to veer left due to gusty cross wind which could not be overcome by rudder/aileron inputs. Pilot pulled power back upon entering the grass and proceeded over a burm which nosed the aircraft over onto its back causing substantial damage to landing gear, lower left and upper right wing.
