A witness saw the airplane taxi to the runway for takeoff. He was inside his hangar when he heard the airplane take off and the sound of the engine change then quit. He went outside and saw the airplane descending below the tree line. The witness went to the accident site, and the pilot reported to him that the engine shook “real bad” before it lost power. Numerous attempts to schedule an engine examination with a local mechanic were unsuccessful.The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
