Accident

The pilot stated that during the takeoff run with both engines at full power, the aircraft veered to the left. At 40 kts the aircraft did not respond to full right rudder so the pilot aborted the takeoff. The aircraft came to rest in an adjoining cultivated paddock with the nosewheel broken off and both propellers damaged.
