Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, AND JUST AS THE AIRCRAFT BROKE GROUND, THE ENGINE 'SURGED AND CUT OUT.' THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF ON THE TURF RUNWAY AND INTENTIONALLY GROUND LOOPED THE AIRCRAFT TO AVOID ROLLING INTO A STREAM BEYOND THE RUNWAY'S UPWIND END. THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A FENCE AND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED DURING THE ABORTED LANDING. THE AIRCRAFT THEN NOSED OVER. A TEST RUN OF THE ENGINE FROM IDLE TO FULL POWER FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT REVEALED NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.
