Analysis
The plt was told that the sod strip was 1800 ft long. His calculated takeoff distance to clear a 50 ft obstacle was 1720 ft. however, the actual length of the sod strip ws 1300 ft. during the takeoff roll, the plt realized he would not be able to clear the 30 ft tall power lines at the end of the strip, so he aborted. He was unable to stop on the remaining rwy & the acft slid thru a fence & into a ditch.
