Immediately after take-off, the engine ran roughly, produced heavy vibrations and lost power. The pilot decided to make a forced landing, lowered the nose of the aeroplane, selected a field in front of him and secured the engine. During landing, both the right hand and nose landing gear were ruptured. The pilot climbed out, uninjured.
Cause
The cause of the accident is an engine stoppage resulting from a fuel starvation due to a false air intake at a tee fitting connector located at the suction side of the fuel system. The air intake occurred as a consequence of a fuel pipe clamp not being properly tightened.
