Read the full NTSB narrative
The certificated private pilot reported that just after takeoff, about 150 feet above the ground, all engine power was lost. Emergency engine procedures did not restore engine power, and he selected a forced landing area that contained trees. The airplane collided with the trees, and sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage. An FAA airworthiness inspector examined the accident airplane, and reported no preaccident mechanical anomalies.
