Narrative:
During takeoff, the engine lost power. The pilot maneuvered the airplane away from some large trees with rudder and aileron and the airplane touched down near the edge of the runway. The nose gear struck a runway light and broke off. The airplane then spun around approximately 180 degrees before coming to rest, facing north. The underside of the fuselage sustained structural damage. The Federal Aviation Administration inspector who examined the airplane reported that the mixture control cable came loose at the cable housing crimp, resulting in the loss of engine power.

Probable Cause: A loss of engine power due to a failure of the mixture control cable housing attachment.
