Read the full NTSB narrative
During takeoff, when the airplane was about 200 feet above the ground, the engine experienced a partial loss of engine power and the pilot was not able to maintain altitude. The pilot performed a forced landing to a grass area northwest of the runway; however the airplane struck trees and a fence. Examination of the airplane and engine did not reveal any pre-impact failures. Fuel consistent with aviation gasoline was observed throughout the airplane's fuel system, and no evidence of contamination was noted. Additionally, the engine was started and ran uneventfully; however, due to damaged engine mounts, the rpm was not increased above 1,300. The temperature and dew point reported at a nearby airport, was 86 and 70 degrees F, respectively. A review of a carburetor icing probability chart, placed the reported temperature and dew point in the "serious icing at glide power" area of the chart; however, the pilot reported that the application carburetor heat after the partial loss of engine power did not effect the engine's performance.
