The pilot was undertaking a solo navigation exercise prior to a flight test for the removal of area restrictions on his licence. About 20 minutes after departure, the engine commenced to run roughly and the pilot diverted towards a suitable aerodrome. However, the engine performance deteriorated and the pilot elected to carry out a precautionary landing in a paddock. Towards the end of the landing roll the aircraft collided with a fence. Initial investigation revealed a broken rocker arm on one of the engine cylinders.
