That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N1591V's record changes.
The student pilot was planning to perform three takeoffs and three landings for his first solo flight. After completing the second landing, the student pilot applied full power for the takeoff. When the student pilot began to manipulate the flight controls for the takeoff, the airplane “abruptly pulled hard” toward the left. The student pilot then retarded the throttle and applied the brakes, and the airplane departed the runway to the left. The left main landing gear impacted a runway sign, and the landing gear collapsed. The airplane came to rest upright on a grass field near the runway. The student pilot was able to egress from the airplane without further incident.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left horizontal stabilizer. The student pilot reported there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or the engine that would have precluded normal operation.
