An experimental, amateur-built STOL CH-701 airplane, N422ES, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Kenwood, California. The pilot was not injured.
The pilot, who also owned the airplane, reported that he departed from Cloverdale Municipal Airport (O60), Cloverdale, California, and was destined for Sonoma Skypark Airport (0Q9), Sonoma, California. While in cruise flight, he felt a severe vibration from the engine and saw cooling fluid leaking onto the windscreen. About 30 seconds later, the engine lost total power. The pilot conducted a forced landing on a narrow field surrounded by vineyards. During the landing, the airplane slid into a ditch on the side of the field and came to rest nose down substantially damaging the wing and forward
