An amateur-built Zenair CH701 aircraft was on a local visual flight rules flight from Lachute, QC (CSE4) with only the pilot on board. On take-off from CSE4, the aircraft's engine (Jabiru 2200A) began to fail. The pilot decided to land on a sandbank east of the mouth of the Red River. After a brief check and a ground engine test, the pilot then decided to take off again from the sandbank in an attempt to return to CSE4. On takeoff the engine had new failures and lost power. The pilot attempted to return to the sandbank to land, but the aircraft lost speed during a right turn and then crashed into a wooded area. The pilot, who was slightly injured, barely escaped as the fire consumed the aircraft.
