SHORTLY AFTER LIFTOFF IN IMC, THE ACFT DESCENDED TO THE GROUND. THE PLT HAD BEEN CLEARED FOR A RT TURN BUT THE CONTROLLER NOTICED THE ACFT TURNING LEFT AT ABOUT 50 FT AGL. THE PLT LATER COULD NOT STOP THE DRIFTING TO THE LEFT. THE LNDG GEAR WAS RAISED AND THE PLT SAID HE LOWERED THE NOSE TO INCREASE AIRSPEED. THE ACFT BANKED LEFT BUT THE PLT SAID HE LEVELED THE WINGS PRIOR TO GROUND IMPACT. THE ACFT NEVER REACHED THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY AND CRASHED 250 YARDS FROM THE SIDE OF THE RWY. EXAMINATION OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM DID NOT REVEAL EVIDENCE OF MALFUNCTION.
