The pilot reported that he was taxiing on the ramp after landing and had looked to his left at the line serviceman that was "marshalling" him and the right wing struck a fence post. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage.
The line serviceman reported that he was standing in the location where he wanted the pilot to park the airplane, with his arms raised to get the pilot's attention. The line serviceman reported that he was not giving the pilot hand signals to direct him on the ramp at the time of the accident.
The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's diverted attention while taxiing, which resulted in a collision with a fence post.
