What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot was making an aerial application to a field and was making a clean-up pass parallel to a gravel road. He saw a powerline and pulled up sharply. He felt the line bump the tailwheel. He determined that the aircraft was flying normally and returned to his home airport, landing without further incident. The pilot was uninjured and a visual inspection showed only minor, cosmetic damage to the aircraft.
