| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The experimental exhibition airplane sustained substantial damage on impact with a ditch during a forced landing following an in-flight loss of engine power on approach. An on-scene examination of fuel lines revealed that they were obstructed. The interior of the effected hoses were 90% plugged with interior rubber from the hose. The logbook showed they were replaced during the last annual condition inspection.
Probable Cause: The mechanic's inadequate installation of fuel lines, the obstruction of fuel lines, and the fuel starvation leading to the non-mechanical loss of engine power during approach and the unsuitable terrain the pilot encountered during the forced landing.
