Narrative:
A private Quad City Challenger II advanced ultralight with only the owner/pilot on board, was returning to its home airfield, an unregistered 3200' grass strip approximately 5nm NNE of Carleton Place Airport (CNR6), Ontario, following a local flight. While on short final approach to runway 32, the nosewheel contacted and severed hydro wires approximately 275 feet short of the runway threshold. The aircraft lost most of its forward momentum, rolled to the right, and fell to the ground approximately 50 feet from the wire strike location, with the right wing absorbing the ground impact. The pilot was uninjured, and the right wing of the aircraft was substantially damaged. There was a local power outage resulting from the severed hydro wires.
