DURING A DAYLIGHT DEPARTURE, THE ENGINE LOST COMPLETE POWER DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB AT ABOUT 125 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND. THE PILOT ELECTED TO LAND STRAIGHT AHEAD DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ALTITUDE TO REVERSE DIRECTION BACK TO THE RUNWAY. AS HE APPROACHED THE TREES JUST OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY, HE STALLED THE AIRPLANE DELIBERATELY SO THAT HE WOULD NOT ENTER THE TREES AT A HIGH VELOCITY. THE CAUSE OF THE POWER LOSS WAS NOT DETERMINED.
Probable Cause: THE TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO UNDETERMINED REASONS. A FACTOR WAS THE UNSUITABLE TERRAIN.
