That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N40WH's record changes.
The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, the experimental tailwheel-equipped airplane's left wing dropped. The pilot corrected with right aileron input and back pressure on the control yoke. However, the airplane veered off the runway, bounced, and impacted in a right wing low attitude. Subsequently the airplane nosed over.
A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the weld that connects the left main landing gear and the axle failed.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and empennage.
