Circumstances:
On takeoff for a crop-spraying flight from an airstrip near Tyugalbuga (Novaya Malykla district of the Ulyanovsk region) with tail and cross wind when deviated from the take off direction to the left. The aircraft veered off runway, ran into a one meter high dung heap and came to rest against a pile of manure. Both pilots escaped unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
