THE PILOT STATED THAT HE TAXIED TO THE NORTH END OF THE 1300 FT GRASS STRIP, THEN MADE AN ENGINE RUN-UP AND CHECKLIST INSPECTION OF ALL CONTROLS AND GUAGES. HE PREPARED TO TAKEOFF BY HOLDING THE BRAKES UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT 2600 RPM. THE WIND WAS REPORTED TO BE FROM 360 DEG AT 5 KTS. HE STATED THAT AS THE AIRCRAFT LIFTED OFF THE RUNWAY, HE 'HAD A SLIGHT HEAD RUSH FROM THE HEAT AND BECAME BLINDED (AND) . . . MADE A DECISION TO ABORT THE TAKE-OFF.' HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY AND STEERED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT TO AVOID A FENCE. HOWEVER, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A POWER LINE POLE AND THE PROP CUT 4 STRANDS OF A BARBED WIRE FENCE.
Probable Cause: THE UNEXPECTED IMPAIRMENT OF THE PILOT. FACTORS RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT WERE: THE PILOT'S SELECTION OF A SHORT GRASS RUNWAY WITH A TAILWIND, THE HIGH AIR TEMPERATURE, AND THE OBSTRUCTIONS (FENCE & POWER LINE) AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY.
