Narrative:
After preflight and runup, chkout ok and normal. I called tower for takeoff clearance. Cleared for takeoff, I ran engine up to full power, checked engine instruments. All was normal, released the brakes and started the takeoff roll. Checking speed and engine instruments, again all normal. I rotated at 75 KTS. Plane left the ground and then started to settle. I chopped the power, aborted the takeoff and tried to stop. But I ran out of runway and into the fence at the end of runway 24. Some structural and gear damage to plane. No injury to pilot.
