REFLECTOR: Accident/incident

[larry]

I was cleared to depart runway 8R with winds reported 14007kts.  Shortly 
after rotation the pilot side wing rose abruptly.  Full aileron with 
opposite rudder was applied and the condition started to reverse at about 
45 degrees roll.  I did not react to this reversal fast enough to prevent 
an over correction.  Rather than continue, I cut power and landed in a crab 
to the left which resulted in the damaged nose gear.

Inspection by myself immediately after  I exited the runway and by two 
pilots after the plane was returned to the hanger did not detect any 
abnormalities.  A Velocity builder inspected the plane today. He also was 
unable to detect any abnormalities.  At this point the only evident damage 
is to the nose gear strut which was twisted to the right on impact.

All measurements taken so far for yoke movement to control surface movement 
are equivelant to those taken prior to my initial flight.
