## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE PERFORMED A WHEEL LANDING AND AFTER TOUCHDOWN HE APPLIED SLIGHT NOSE FORWARD PRESSURE ON THE YOKE TO PIN THE MAINS.  A SECOND OR TWO LATER THE RIGHT WING  LIFTED RAPIDLY WHICH HE TRIED TO COUNTERACT WITH RIGHT AILERON.  THE INPUT OF AILERON WAS INEFFECTIVE AND FULL POWER WAS APPLIED FOR A GO-AROUND.  EVEN WITH POWER, RIGHT AILERON AND RIGHT RUDDER, THE PILOT COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT.  THE POWER WAS REDUCED; HOWEVER, BRAKES WERE NOT APPLIED IN FEAR OF A NOSE-OVER. THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT, AND WENT THROUGH A FENCE AT ABOUT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE AND ENTERED A DITCH.  THE NOSE SPUN AROUND TO THE RIGHT ABRUPTLY AND THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED BACK INTO THE DITCH.
