Narrative:
The airplane collided with a fence during an aborted takeoff on a 2,941 foot-long runway. The pilot stated that the airplane slowly increased speed after full power was applied. The pilot reported that the airplane was airborne for a few seconds before he decided to abort the takeoff. He decreased power to idle and attempted to bring the airplane to a full-stop, but was unsuccessful. The pilot reported that he should have waited until it was cooler outside, and applied flaps on takeoff in order to prevent this accident. The density altitude at an airport located 10 miles to the west of the accident site was approximately 2,565 feet mean sea level.

Probable Cause: The delayed aborted takeoff by the pilot-in-command. A contributing factor was the fence, which the airplane contacted during the aborted takeoff.
