Event Summary
A pilot aborted a previous takeoff after being unable to maintain directional control. After taxiing the airplane to parking and conducting a visual inspection, the pilot elected to attempt another takeoff. During taxi, the control tower directed the pilot to perform a 180-degree turn. While executing the turn, the pilot experienced a loss of brake pressure and directional control. In an effort to complete the turn, the pilot applied asymmetrical engine power. However, the airplane struck a fence post, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing.
Inspection Findings
Following the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration inspected the airplane. The inspection revealed that the brakes on the airplane's right side were inoperative.
