Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that, prior to takeoff, he had the airplane positioned perpendicular to the direction of takeoff. During takeoff, when he added power and attempted to turn and align the airplane with the runway, he lost directional control. Subsequently, the airplane ground looped and struck a tree with the right wing, which resulted in substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
