Analysis
Acft was departing from a 1500' private strip on an aerial application flt. Opr had reduced the fertilizer load on this flt in order to compensate for the higher ambient temps in the afternoon. On takeoff, the acft lifted off normally, but settled back onto the runway at the end of the strip. It subsequently went through a fence, struck a levee and flipped over. OAT at the time of the accident was 94 deg. No evidence of mech malfunction was found during the investigation or claimed by the opr.
