## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS MAKING APPROACH TO HIS PROPERTY.  HE GOT TOO CLOSE TO A FENCE ON THE PROPERTY LINE AND ADVANCED THE THROTTLE.  ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND AS FAST AS HE THOUGHT IT WOULD, SO HE WAS TRYING TO NOT HIT THE FENCE AND NOT STALL THE AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT PULLED TO THE RIGHT.  THE RIGHT WING HIT THE ROOF OF A HOUSE SOUTH OF THE FENCE AND THE AIRCRAFT INVERTED AND HIT A BARN SOUTH OF THE HOUSE.
