While attempting to land on the grass strip that borders Runway 21, the airplane bounced 5 or 6 times. The pilot attempted a go-around by adding full power; however, the airplane yawed right between 30 and 40 degrees before impacting a fence and nosing over. The rudder and both wings sustained substantial damage.
