THE PIPER PA-60 AEROSTAR WAS MAKING A TAKEOFF WITH FIVE PASSENGERS ON BOARD. THE PIC DID NOT ESTABLISH ANY PROCEDURES WITH HIS CO-PILOT PRIOR TO THE TAKEOFF. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED OFF THE 4100 FT RUNWAY TO THE OVERRUN FINALLY BECOMING AIRBORNE. THE CO-PILOT THEN GRABBED THE CONTROLS AND PULLED THE CONTROL WHEEL BACK. THE AIRCRAFT CLIMBED AND THEN THE LEFT WING DROPPED AND CONTACTED POWER LINES. THE AIRCRAFT WAS OBSERVED ON FIRE PRIOR TO SETTLING TO THE GROUND. ALL FIVE OCCUPANTS ESCAPED INJURY, HOWEVER, THE AIRCRAFT WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE. BOTH FRONT SEAT PILOTS (PIC & CO-PILOT) HAD OPERATED PA-60 AIRCRAFT AS PIC.
