Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT AND A PASSENGER WERE DEPARTING A REMOTE/ROUGH LANDING SITE THAT WAS ORIENTED NORTH AND SOUTH. THE SITE WAS REPORTED TO BE ABOUT 1,000 FEET LONG WITH A 10 DEGREE UPSLOPE IN A SOUTHBOUND DIRECTION. THE PILOT BEGAN THE TAKEOFF ROLL TO THE SOUTH. THE WIND WAS FROM THE SOUTHEAST ABOUT 3 KNOTS. DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, THE TAILWHEEL CONTACTED A LOW BUSH, AND THE RIGHT WING THEN CONTACTED THE GROUND. THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR SEPARATED FROM THE FUSELAGE, AND THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER.
