Analysis

The pilot performed one stop and go landing on the unimproved landing area. During the second landing attempt he bounced the initial landing, added power to recover, and attempted to land again about midfield. The pilot evaluated the distance remaining and elected to go around. After adding power and committing to the takeoff, the pilot recognized he would not be able to maintain obstacle clearance and attempted to maneuver to a fly over a low fence crossing. The airplane impacted the fence, and came to an immediate stop. The airplane's right main landing gear was bent aft resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane prior to the accident.
