Narrative:

While taking off at 22G, approximately 1000' down a 5000' runway, tail-up and in takeoff confign, the right engine cut out. I reduced power to the left engine to correct swerve to the right, then the right engine came back with power and briefly over-sped. I then increased power to the left engine to correct the swerve to the left, then the right engine cut out again. By the time I reduced power to the left engine again, I had swerved off the runway and ground-looped into a shallow ditch. Possible causes: a blower malfunction, or contaminated fuel.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: LOSS ACFT CONTROL WHEN RIGHT ENGINE CUT OUT. RWY EXCURSION.

Narrative: WHILE TAKING OFF AT 22G, APPROX 1000' DOWN A 5000' RWY, TAIL-UP AND IN TKOF CONFIGN, THE RIGHT ENG CUT OUT. I REDUCED PWR TO THE LEFT ENG TO CORRECT SWERVE TO THE RIGHT, THEN THE RIGHT ENG CAME BACK WITH PWR AND BRIEFLY OVER-SPED. I THEN INCREASED PWR TO THE LEFT ENG TO CORRECT THE SWERVE TO THE L, THEN THE R ENG CUT OUT AGAIN. BY THE TIME I REDUCED PWR TO THE L ENG AGAIN, I HAD SWERVED OFF THE RWY AND GND-LOOPED INTO A SHALLOW DITCH. POSSIBLE CAUSES: A BLOWER MALFUNCTION, OR CONTAMINATED FUEL.
