The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with fencing.

The pilot reported that, during departure the airplane encountered windshear and he could not maintain directional control. The airplane veered off the right side of the runway and collided with two fences. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The wings and fuselage were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation
