The non-certificated pilot was flying a tailwheel airplane in cruise flight when the engine lost all power. He selected the only landing site possible, a clearing with several tree stumps. During the ensuing landing, the airplane nosed over, and received structural damage to the wings, fuselage, and vertical stabilizer. The pilot stated he did not have a pilot's license, and that the engine lost power due to fuel exhaustion.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to refuel the airplane prior to fuel exhaustion, which resulted in a loss of engine power and a forced landing in unsuitable terrain.
