DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT, THE ACFT EXITED THE RUNWAY AND ROLLED OVER ON ITS RIGHT SIDE. THE INSPECTION OF BOTH TAILWHEEL AND TAILWHEEL ASSEMBLY REVEALED VERY LOOSE CABLES BETWEEN THE LOCKING HANDLE AND THE TAILWHEEL. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT THE PILOT HAD ONLY SIX HOURS IN THE TYPE OF AIRCRAFT.
