THE ELEVATION WAS ABOUT 2650 FT MSL AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE PILOT INITIATED A TAKEOFF WITH ABOUT 1200 LBS OF 2-4-D ON BOARD. HE STATED THAT AT LIFT-OFF, THE LEFT WING DROPPED LOW AND HIT A GATE POST WHICH JAMMED THE AILERON. THE AIRCRAFT SLOWLY ROLLED TO THE LEFT AND CRASHED ABOUT 500 FT FROM THE END OF THE RUNWAY.
