Yes, I've been following your ideas with interest.
I also feel comfortable to state they knew of the problem before they broke ground. The “turn” was way too early, the climb was almost flat, and they were committed to take off before a decision could be made to abort. The right turn was “noticed” by witnesses at eight thousand feet along, and 100 feet AGL.
It goes a long way toward explaining the very low gain in altitude.
Any mention of aileron trim set at impact?
From the CAB report: "Actual position of the aileron trim tab could not be determined but the aileron trim cockpit control was set at zero degrees."
