The instructor pilot reported, 'After takeoff and during the climb out, the engine didn't produce power to sustain lift, at that point, I took the a/c over, avoided homes, a barn, and landed it in a nearby field. Without any altitude and limited airspeed we landed against the furrows which flipped us over....' The student pilot, who had about 10 hours of total flight time, reported that, 'All of the readings on the instruments looked normal and all the engine gauges were in the green.' He reported, '... the engine stopped running. There was no warning, alarm, or indication of any kind that gave knowledge or concern of the engine experiencing any difficulties or of its stopping.' An engine run was performed. The engine was successfully started three times. On the third start the engine was run at 1,900 RPM's. The carburetor heat was pulled on and a drop of 125 RPM's was registered. The engine was not run at a higher RPM due to the propeller blade tips being bent and curled.
Probable Cause: Loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
