That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N7054K's record changes.
The pilot reported that, during takeoff in the tailwheel-equipped airplane, he had about a 3-knot tailwind. When the airplane was at about 40 mph indicated airspeed, he applied forward pressure to the control yoke, and as the tail lifted off the ground the airplane encountered a gust of wind. Subsequently, the airplane veered abruptly to the left, he overcorrected, and the airplane exited the left side of the runway and impacted a snow berm coming to rest nose down.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage.
The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
