Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING THE INITIAL TAKEOFF CLIMB AT AN ALT OF 150 FT AGL, A TTL LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED. A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE IN A SOYBEAN FILED AT WHICH TIME THE ACFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. THE PLT STATED THE LOSS OF POWER RESULTED FROM THE INSTALLATION OF A NON-STANDARD VACUUM FUEL PUMP WHICH DID NOT SUPPY ADEQUATE FUEL TO THE ENGINE. THE PLT INSTALLED THE FUEL PUMP ON THIS HOMEBUILT ACFT.
