THE PLT REPORTED THAT SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE LEFT ENG LOST POWER. HE WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE ACFT, SO HE REDUCED POWER ON THE RIGHT ENG & SUBSEQUENTLY MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN A FIELD. DURING THE LANDING, THE GEAR COLLAPSED, THEN THE ACFT SLID INTO A TREE. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE ACFT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 8 MONTHS & HAD RECENTLY FLOWN FOR ONLY ABOUT 2 HRS. A POST CRASH EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF A PREIMPACT PART FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION & A TEST RUN OF THE ENG SHOWED NO SIGNS OF A FAILURE. THE PASSENGER STATED THE LEFT FUEL FLOW METER STARTED FLUCTUATING AT THE SAME TIME THE ENG LOST P0WER, THEN THE FUEL FLOW INDICATION DROPPED TO ZERO.
