The 8,500-hour pilot, initiated his climb after takeoff and the R-1340 radial engine "coughed" and lost power. The pilot stated that the engine regained power but it "was not enough to gain any altitude." Subsequently, the airplane impacted terrain and came to rest upright and a post-impact fire ensued. The reason for the loss of power was not determined.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power due to undetermined reasons. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
