Analysis
During a x-country flt, the plt landed at stephenville, TX, for fuel, but was unable to purchase any. Therefore, he proceeded to Granbury, TX, for fuel before continuing to chattanooga, TN. A witness heard the acft, then observed it porpoising down the last third of the rwy at high speed. He reported that the plt locked the brakes about 500 ft from the end of the rwy. The acft continued off the end of the rwy & was substantially damaged when it collided with the opposite side of a wide ditch. The witness estimated that the wind was from the northwest at 25 gusting 30 KTS. The plt had been flying for many years, but had only a student certificate. He was not endorsed for solo x-country flt.
