Narrative:The accident occurred during takeoff. The pilot stated that the takeoff run was normal until tailwheel liftoff. At that point, the pilot felt the plane yaw right. The pilot attempted to correct the situation, but realized that the right main wheel was going off the edge of the runway. Once the right main gear departed the runway surface, the pilot decided to exit the runway and continue takeoff on the grass. The airplane subsequently rolled over a drop-off, collided with a fence, and nosed over.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff.
