C-GVOQ, a Cessna 185, was extensively damaged on takeoff from the Channing gravel strip. The a/c veered off the right side of the runway and came to rest in an upright position. The pilot sustained minor injuries and the passenger, who was also a pilot, was uninjured. The a/c experienced damage to the right wing, landing gear, belly and propeller. The a/c had undergone maintenance to the pilot's control column prior to the flight and it was determined that the aileron cables were inadvertently crossed on re-installation. Function operation and cable tension checks were done, but did not identify the mis-rigged ailerons. It was also not caught during the pre-flight check.
