THE PILOT WAS AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC FOR THE OPERATOR OF THE AIRPLANE, AND WAS ENROUTE TO ANOTHER AIRPORT TO REPAIR A COMPANY AIRPLANE. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE DID NOT DO A COMPLETE JOB OF PREFLIGHTING THE AIRPLANE, AND ATTEMPTED TO TAKEOFF WITH THE CONTROL WHEEL LOCK (A NAIL) STILL IN PLACE. HE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO REMOVE THE NAIL, AND THEN TRIED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF, BUT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRPLANE BEFORE IT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND NOSED OVER.
