The flight had lifted off of runway 6, and had climb to an altitude of about 200 feet above the ground, when the airplane's right engine lost power, drifted to the right, and struck trees. The pilot stated, there was no warning of any engine trouble, and that he did not have time to feather the propeller, or retract the landing gear. He further stated, '...shortly after leaving the runway the engine quit and the plane started veering right toward the wooded area and went down....' According to the passenger, 'shortly after taking off...the plane started quick[ly] dropping and jerking.' The pilot told her to hold on, and 'took the plane down in wooded area.' Both engines were test run without any discrepancies.
