Narrative:The pilot reported that he took off from his private airstrip intending to make a touch-and-go landing at his airstrip. He added that, during a turn toward the runway, the engine lost power. Two witnesses saw the airplane collide with power lines. The airplane then impacted terrain and nosed over. The airplane was destroyed by impact and a postimpact fire.
A review of the airplane's flight track revealed that the airplane had been airborne about 1 1/2 hours, flying between two airports. The flight profile was consistent with the pilot conducting touch and go landings at his private airstrip and another airport to the south.
The postimpact fire precluded an examination of the airframe or fuel system. An engine examination was performed, but postimpact fire damage precluded the testing of all components. Although the No. 2 cylinder had low compression, examination using a borescope did not reveal any defects. The magnetos were melted and could not be tested. Given the available information, the reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
