On approach to runway 29 at Rand Airport, the pilot elected to land as short as possible due to taxiway earthworks in progress near the intersection of runways 29 & 35. In the process the undercarriage of the Zlin caught the boundary fence and was ripped off. The aircraft then did a belly landing on the grass and stopped approximately 100m from the runway threshold. The engine caught fire, but was quickly extinguished by the Rand Airport emergency services. The pilot suffered no significant injuries and refused any medical attention.
