The airplane lost partial power following a slow descent from 5,500 feet to 2,500 feet and did not respond to an increase in throttle position. The airplane gauges did not indicate any apparent problems and the pilot performed emergency procedures which included checks of the fuel selector valve lever, electric fuel pump switch, and fuel mixture control lever. The engine performance did not improve and the airplane had insufficient altitude to make the nearest airport. The pilot made a forced landing in a field. The airplane landed hard, separating the right main gear from the airplane and collapsing the nose gear.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power due to undetermined reasons. A factor was uneven terrain.
