Analysis
The pilot reported he intended to depart the residential street to ferry the airplane to an airport. While taking off headed east, he felt a “gust of wind” and was “unable to correct.” The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings when it impacted a brick wall. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
