the amateur built PGK-1 Hirondelle, C-GSYD, was on a local flight at the Springbank airport (CYBW), with the pilot attempting touch and go landings on Runways 16 and 34. During the initial climb on the second circuit on Runway 34, the engine would not accelerate beyond 2000 rpm. The pilot force-landed in a runway/taxiway construction area about one quarter mile from the departure end of Runway 34. The aircraft was substantially damaged. The pilot, who sustained facial injuries, extricated himself from the wreckage and walked about 600 feet to ARFF vehicles. The reason for the power loss has not been determined.
