The pilot found the flight controls to be jammed after the aircraft became airborne. It started to roll to the left, but the pilot managed to land the aircraft safely in an adjoining field. Investigation revealed that a stone was jammed under the ailer on control inside the cockpit. A wall and gaiter will be added to this area to prevent a repeat of this type of occurrence.
