During a local area personal flight, the aircraft struck two power lines approximately 1 mile apart, the second of which sheared off approximately 1/3 of the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The pilot then flew the aircraft back to the point of departure, a distance of about 70 miles, and parked the aircraft in a shelter. He did not report the power line encounter. The aircraft was found the following day with evidence of substantial damage to many portions of the aircraft.
