## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) N9756U DEPARTED BROWN FIELD ON RWY 26R, BECAME AIRBORNE AND LOST CONTROL. THE AIRCRAFT CRASHED THROUGH A FENCE AND CAME TO REST 1/4 MILE NORTH OF THE AIRPORT AT 231632PDT. THE PILOT AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE AIRCRAFT WAS DESTROYED. THE PILOT REQUESTED AND MADE AN EARLY RIGHT TURN IN THE PATTERN. DURING THE TURN HE REALIZED THE AIRCRAFT WAS GOING TOO SLOW AND WAS ENTERING A STALL. THE AIRCRAFT THEN "SNAPPED" QUICKLY TO THE RIGHT. HE APPLIED OPPOSITE AILERON AND THE AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY ROLLED LEFT. HE APPLIED CORRECTIONS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS SEVERAL TIMES BUT BY THE TIME HE REGAINED CONTROL AND AIRSPEED, HE COULDN'T AVOID THE FENCE. THE AIRCRAFT ENDED UP INVERTED.
