THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE ON THE GROUND DUE TO HIS LACK OF EXPERIENCE IN TYPE OF AIRCRAFT. THIS RESULTED IN AN UNSUCCESSFUL ABORTED TAKEOFF, THE AIRPLANE VEERING OFF THE RUNWAY AND NOSING OVER. A FACTOR IN THIS ACCIDENT WAS THE PILOT'S IMPROPER RECOVERY FROM A BOUNCED LANDING.
