THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE CONDUCTED A NORMAL TAKEOFF, AND THE LEFT ENGINE LOST POWER WHEN THE AIRPLANE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 25 FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY. HE 'LOWERED THE NOSE, PULLED THE POWER, AND LANDED STRAIGHT AHEAD.' THE AIRPLANE LANDED LEFT OF THE RUNWAY AND SLID THROUGH A DRAINAGE DITCH. EXAMINATION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF PREIMPACT AIRFRAME MALFUNCTION. THE ENGINE WAS TESTED IN THE 'AS RECEIVED CONDITION' AND PRODUCED 85 PERCENT OF THE RATED POWER.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the aborted takeoff. A factor was the partial loss of engine power for an undetermined reason.
