Narrative:
The airplane was 20 feet above the ground during takeoff when the engine experienced a loss of power. The pilot performed a forced landing to the end of the runway. During the landing roll, the aircraft overran the runway, crossed a road, went through a fence and struck a tree. Examination of the airplane by an FAA inspector revealed no anomalies that would have prevented engine operation.

Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
