The non-rated pilot reported that he was flying his experimental single-engine airplane when the engine "started to cut-out." The pilot selected an open field for a forced landing; however, during the landing roll the tailwheel-equipped airplane collided with a fence and small trees, coming to rest in the inverted position. A State Trooper, who responded to the accident scene, reported that the pilot told him "that he thought he might have run it out of gas." After the airplane was recovered, an Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the airplane. The inspector was unable to determine the reason for the reported loss of engine power. The homebuilt airplane was powered by a Continental O-200 engine.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable landing terrain for the forced landing.
