Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT STATED HE THOUGHT HE COULD GET AIRBORNE FROM THE TURF FIELD ALTHOUGH IT WAS WET, SOFT, AND MUDDY. AFTER ROLLING SOME DISTANCE, HE DECIDED HE WOULD HAVE TO FLY THROUGH POWERLINES OR TREES SO HE ABORTED. THE AIRPLANE RAN PAST THE END OF THE RUNWAY, THROUGH A FENCE, ACROSS A ROAD, AND INTO A YARD WHERE IT IMPACTED A YARD LIGHT AND A TREE. IT WAS DEMOLISHED BY IMPACT AND POST-IMPACT FIRE.
