The pilot/owner initiated a takeoff from a grass field that was 1,100 feet in length. He said he deployed 10 degrees of flaps and used a soft field technique for takeoff. The pilot said the airplane produced full power during the takeoff roll and climbed immediately after takeoff. However, the airplane was unable to climb over the obstacles at the departure end of the runway. The airplane struck wires, collided with terrain, and came to rest inverted. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane. Examination of the airplane by FAA inspectors revealed the wing flaps were in the fully retracted position. Interpolation of performance charts in the owner's manual revealed that the total takeoff distance required to clear a 50-foot obstacle was 1,671 feet.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate preflight performance planning.
