The airplane drifted to the left and the pilot applied engine power and right rudder to correct for that drift; however, the airplane did not respond to his inputs. The airplane contacted a grass surface and turned sharply to the left, sustaining substantial left wing and aileron damage. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. ## Factual narrative ***This report was modified on November 29, 2012.
