Shortly after takeoff, the airplane lost power, and the pilot made a forced landing in a plowed field. The pilot examined the engine and felt that he could takeoff again. The pilot stated that after takeoff he reduced flaps from two notches to one, and the airplane banked to the right. The airplane then went into a stall/ spin, and collided with the ground. Examination of the airplane revealed that there was contamination in the fuel system but there were no other maintenance related problems noted with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilots failure to maintain flying speed during a soft field takeoff, that resulted in the loss of control and a stall/ spin.
