Analysis
The acft collided with a fence at the departure end of a pasture field during a go-around. The pilot had decided to land in an easterly direction to avoid powerlines and did not consider direction of the wind. Full flaps did not slow the acft effectively going downwind and the acft bounced with excess speed before starting a go-around. The pilot ran out of landing area and collided with a fence as he attempted to stop and the acft nosed over.
