That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N9418E's record changes.
The pilot had previously performed three uneventful landings and elected to depart for a final landing. The pilot initiated the takeoff roll from but started to lose directional control, drifting from one side of the runway to the other. When the left main tire was in tall vegetation adjacent to the runway he decided to continue the takeoff but the airplane veered more to the left and entered taller vegetation. While slowing the airplane nosed over, and both of the right wing’s lift struts were substantially damaged. The pilot reported, and a postaccident examination of the airplane confirmed, that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
