Incident Details
A pilot reported that he taxied to the north end of a 1300-foot-long grass airstrip. After completing an engine run-up and checklist inspection of all controls and gauges, he prepared for takeoff by holding the brakes while running the engine at 2600 RPM. The wind was from 360 degrees at 5 knots.
Sequence of Events
As the aircraft lifted off, the pilot experienced a slight head rush from the heat and became blinded. He immediately decided to abort the takeoff. Unable to stop on the remaining runway, he steered the aircraft to the left to avoid a fence. However, the aircraft struck a power line pole, and the propeller cut four strands of a barbed wire fence.
Aftermath
The pilot did not specify the aircraft type, registration, or any injuries. The incident occurred on a grass strip; no further details about the location, time of day, or weather were provided beyond the wind report.
