The purpose of the flight was to complete a biennial flight review (BFR), for the owner of the airplane. While en route to the destination airport, the airplane began to shake several times, and then the engine lost power. At an altitude of 1,200 feet, the CFI prepared for a forced landing to a field, and just prior to touchdown the airplane entered a "full stall situation" and impacted the bank of a ravine. Examination of the airplane revealed fuel in the gascolator, carburetor bowl, and fuel lines to the engine. The engine was test run on the airframe, and it started and ran continuously for several minutes without hesitation, through a range of power settings from 700 to 2150 RPM.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
