THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE FORGOT TO REMOVE THE AILERON BLOCKS BEFORE THE FLIGHT. WHEN HE WAS TAKING OFF, THE ACFT BEGAN TO ROLL TO THE LEFT. HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE BANK ATTITUDE WITH RUDDER CONTROL, SO HE 'CUT' THE POWER. SECONDS LATER THE ACFT CRASH LANDED IN A SOFT, PLOWED FIELD & SUBSEQUENTLY CAME TO REST INVERTED.
