"During the take-off run, the flight crew detected a control issue and rejected the take-off," the ATSB says.

"The aircraft subsequently veered off the runway.  No one was injured and the aircraft sustained minor damage.  As part of the investigation, the ATSB will interview the flight crew, obtain an engineering report and gather additional information."

VH-FGK is a regular visitor to CQ and Rockhampton in particular and to see it sitting rather forlornly in a paddock is a not nice.
