Analysis

While performing a touch-and-go, the commercial pilot applied the airplane's throttle to initiate a takeoff. The pilot subsequently lost directional control of the tail-wheel equipped airplane as the airplane veered towards the left side of the runway. The pilot added full engine power and attempted to "power out" of the loss of directional control. However, the airplane contacted vegetation and soft soil resulting in the airplane nosing over and coming to rest in the inverted position. Substantial damage was sustained to the top wing and the rudder. An examination of the airplane and engine by Federal Aviation Administration inspectors found no pre-impact anomalies.
