Narrative:

I am making this report so others may learn from my mistakes. I was flying in my local area practicing approachs on several small runways around area. I had just completed 1 approach and was climbing out at about 500 ft AGL. I started the next approach on a nearby runway traveling east to west. During the approach; I spotted a truck near the runway. My mistake was locking on to the truck and not seeing the wires. I flew through 3 wires. I was very lucky that no one got hurt and had sustained very little damage to the plane (just the spinner). I have learned from this and will be keeping my eyes moving.

Narrative: I AM MAKING THIS RPT SO OTHERS MAY LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES. I WAS FLYING IN MY LCL AREA PRACTICING APCHS ON SEVERAL SMALL RWYS AROUND AREA. I HAD JUST COMPLETED 1 APCH AND WAS CLBING OUT AT ABOUT 500 FT AGL. I STARTED THE NEXT APCH ON A NEARBY RWY TRAVELING E TO W. DURING THE APCH; I SPOTTED A TRUCK NEAR THE RWY. MY MISTAKE WAS LOCKING ON TO THE TRUCK AND NOT SEEING THE WIRES. I FLEW THROUGH 3 WIRES. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE GOT HURT AND HAD SUSTAINED VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE PLANE (JUST THE SPINNER). I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS AND WILL BE KEEPING MY EYES MOVING.
