That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N734GW's record changes.
The pilot reported that, while taking off from a road, the airplane struck a road sign with its left wing. He explained that, during takeoff the airplane had accelerated rapidly and in the next moment he felt a lurch to the left and at that moment the parking brake, which he had forgotten to release, released. He added that, he had "incorrectly assumed" that the brake had grabbed and caused the lurch, not the unknown to him, sign strike. Subsequently, he corrected with rudder and continued the flight.
He added that, the airplane flew "normally," but that it had a "slightly left-wing heavy feel". He continued the flight without further incident.
A post-accident examination revealed the airplane had sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
