Just prior to the flight the pilot had fueled the airplane from a 5-gallon can. During the initial climb after a banner pickup, the engine sustained a power loss. The airplane was observed to make a right turn, enter a stall and impact the terrain. Subsequent examination found the fuel to be contaminated with water at the aft fuel sump drain.
Probable Cause: a loss of engine power due to water-contaminated fuel and the pilot's inadequate preflight.
