Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that after applying power during the takeoff roll, the airplane veered left. She attempted to correct by reducing engine power and using opposite rudder and right brake, but the airplane exited the runway and struck a parked airplane and fuel tank resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. A Federal Aviation Administration inspector confirmed the airplane’s rudder control, braking system, and tailwheel steering mechanism functioned correctly. Postaccident examination of the airframe revealed no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
