Before commencing operations, the pilot had carried out a detailed survey of the area and noted that a power line crossed the particular paddock to be treated. On the second spraying run the pilot temporarily forgot the presence of the power line, and the gear legs collided with the wires. The aircraft subsequently struck the ground in a steep nose-down attitude and cartwheeled for 30 metres before coming to rest with only the cockpit area still intact.
