During a touch-and-go landing in gusty wind conditions, the aircraft landed hard and bounced. After the aircraft bounced a second time, the pilot applied power and attempted to go around but during the initial climb, struck the airport perimeter fence.
The pilot sustained a minor bump on the head but was otherwise uninjured. The aircraft’s right wheel was torn off and there was damage to the right side of the tail and the right wingtip. The aircraft’s propeller was also bent.
