THE PILOT WAS CLEARED TO TAXI HIS AIRPLANE INTO POSITION AND TO HOLD BEHIND A CHEROKEE SIX AIRPLANE. AFTER THE CHEROKEE SIX DEPARTED, HE WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LIFT OFF AT 10 TO 15 FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT STATED THE AIRPLANE WENT INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE RIGHT ROLL ABOUT THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS. THE RIGHT WING CONTACTED THE RUNWAY AND THE AIRPLANE CARTWHEELED.
