Narrative:
Aircraft performance severely degraded due to atmospheric conditions; hot and humid. Attempted go-around failed causing aircraft to drive through fence at the end of the runway. Aircraft damaged by fence and from ground contact damage when plane overturned after hitting soft plowed field of dirt. Full power was applied and aircraft would not accelerate or lift off and further compounded by tall grass on the soft field grass strip.in hindsight; a rejected takeoff should have been initiated which would have prevented the airplane from striking the woven wire fence.
