Analysis
The stu plt did three takeoffs & lndgs with the instr aboard and then three more during solo flight. On his fourth takeoff try he used aileron and rudder to maintain directional control on the rwy. There was an 8 to 10 kt crosswind. The stu said when the acft lifted off he did not neutralize the ailerons causing the acft to bank to the right. The acft was about 50 ft above the ground when he elected to abort the takeoff. After power was reduced the acft pitched down and collided with the rwy, skidded about 40 ft and nosed over.
