Analysis
PIC lost directional control during lift-off. The aircraft then drifted left, away from the runway, cartwheeled and came to rest upside down. The PIC and passenger exited the aircraft as it started to burn. The PIC stated that he noted immediately a crosswind after lift-off which moved the aircraft to the left.
