NTSB Factual Report

While departing from his home field for an aerial application flight, the airplane was not able to get airborne and collided with several fences at the end of the runway.

The pilot and operator reported no deficiencies with the airplane prior to the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to properly set the airplane's flaps prior to takeoff.
