HOWEVER, AFTER LEAVING THE RWY, THE RGT WING OF THE ACFT STRUCK A GUY WIRE & THE ACFT VEERED BACK TO THE RGT & HIT THE DYKE. ACCORDING TO THE PLT, HE DID NOT CHECK THE WEIGHT & BALANCE BEFORE TAKING OFF WITH 3 PAX & A FULL LOAD OF FUEL. HE BELIEVED THAT THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED BECAUSE THE ACFT WAS OVERWEIGHT.
