Narrative:

On the day of the incident I, the pilot, was flying VFR with the wind from 350 degrees at 12 KTS. I had received clearance for takeoff on runway 36 and was in the process of moving down the runway when the aircraft suddenly turned to the left. After the aircraft had turned, I cut the power, started to brake, and turned the aircraft so it would not hit the runway lights. I went off the runway just before the runway (36) crossed runway 27. After leaving the runway I went into the grass and crossed runway 27, and then went back into the grass and stopped the aircraft. I, the only passenger, was not injured and the aircraft was not damaged. I believe the winds contributed to the situation and that a recurrence of the incident could be prevented by gaining more flying experience.

Title: SPI LOSES CONTROL OF ACFT DURING TKOF AND DEPARTS RWY.

Narrative: ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT I, THE PLT, WAS FLYING VFR WITH THE WIND FROM 350 DEGS AT 12 KTS. I HAD RECEIVED CLRNC FOR TKOF ON RWY 36 AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING DOWN THE RWY WHEN THE ACFT SUDDENLY TURNED TO THE LEFT. AFTER THE ACFT HAD TURNED, I CUT THE PWR, STARTED TO BRAKE, AND TURNED THE ACFT SO IT WOULD NOT HIT THE RWY LIGHTS. I WENT OFF THE RWY JUST BEFORE THE RWY (36) CROSSED RWY 27. AFTER LEAVING THE RWY I WENT INTO THE GRASS AND CROSSED RWY 27, AND THEN WENT BACK INTO THE GRASS AND STOPPED THE ACFT. I, THE ONLY PAX, WAS NOT INJURED AND THE ACFT WAS NOT DAMAGED. I BELIEVE THE WINDS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SITUATION AND THAT A RECURRENCE OF THE INCIDENT COULD BE PREVENTED BY GAINING MORE FLYING EXPERIENCE.
