Analysis
While landing on a 2000 ft rwy at Waverly, OH, the brakes were not effective, so the plt elected to go-around. During the go-around, the acft hit a fence at the end of the rwy. The plt continued flt to the ross county arpt & landed. An exam of the brakes revealed that the linings, p/n 66-307,were worn to such an extent that a piston had extended beyond its 'o' ring seal & resulted in loss of brake fluid.
