The student pilot reported that during takeoff, at an altitude of 200-300 feet agl, the engine lost power. He applied carburetor heat and that 'seemed to help a little for 30-45 seconds.' He then turned off the carburetor heat at which time, according to the pilot, the engine rpm didn't change much. Shortly thereafter the engine lost all power and the propeller stopped. A forced landing was made in a plowed field during which time the airplane was substantially damaged. Post accident inspection failed to determine the cause of the power loss.
Probable Cause: a loss of engine power due to undetermined reasons. A factor was the rough field in which the forced landing was made.
