The accident occurred during the first flight after all six engine cylinders had been replaced. The airplane had 65 gallons of fuel distributed evenly between the two fuel tanks and no fuel contamination was noted during a preflight inspection. The pilot verified proper engine operation prior to the takeoff roll. The engine lost power 500 - 600 feet above ground level during initial climb after takeoff. An immediate forced landing was made to a cornfield southwest of the airport. The airplane contacted a tree before impacting nose first into the cornfield. The engine did not experience any hesitation, stumbling, or interruption in engine operation during a post-accident engine test run. The engine demonstrated the ability to produce rated horsepower.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for an undetermined reason. Contributing to the accident was the tree that the airplane impacted during the forced landing.
