During a landing in calm wind conditions, the aircraft continued off the end of the runway and struck a fence. The pilot stated that he had trouble lowering the flaps and that the brakes would not operate properly. During a subsequent inspection, the brakes and flaps operated normally. The density altitude was about 4700 ft.
