The pilot reported that he had just bought the airplane and was returning to his home in California. He planned to stop at Dell City for fuel. While attempting to land on runway 26, the aircraft encountered a gust of wind and the pilot decided to go around. During the go-around, the airplane impacted a power line that paralleled the left side of the runway and located approximately 800 feet from the centerline of the runway.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain obstacle clearance during a go-around. Factors were the gusty wind and the pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind.
