Analysis

According to the pilot, he was attempting to land at a private airstrip. During landing, as he flared the airplane, it impacted the runway and bounced. The airplane continued to float down to the runway, but after touching down again it struck a divot and bounced off the runway surface. The airplane continued about 200 feet until the pilot realized that he was about 400 feet from the end of the runway. The pilot applied takeoff power to initiate a go around; however, during the initial climb the propeller made contact with a fence and the airplane nosed over, resulting in substantial damage to the wings and empennage. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
