THE PILOT DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT, WHICH VEERED TO THE LEFT, ALTHOUGH HE HAD FULL RIGHT RUDDER. TAKEOFF WAS ABORTED. AIRCRAFT SPUN AROUND, SLID TO A STOP AND STRUCK FENCE. (.4) DURING TAKEOFF, AT ROTATION, THE AIRPLANE YAWED 20-30 DEGREES LEFT AND BEGAN TO SLIDE DOWN THE CENTER OF THE 2,600-FOOT GRASS RUNWAY. THE PILOT REDUCED THE ENGINE POWER TO IDLE; HOWEVER, THE AIRPLANE CONTINUED TO TRACK TOWARD THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A BARBED WIRE FENCE THAT PARALLELED THE RUNWAY.
