As part of the takeoff checklist, the pilot checked both magnetos and the carburettor heat control for function. Following takeoff and climb to about 1000 feet, the engine commenced to run rough with large drops in RPM. The pilot decided to return to the aerodrome but during the return the engine suffered a total power loss. He was unable to restore power by completing the trouble checks which included the application of carburettor heat and ensuring a fuel supply with the fuel selector on both tanks. During the forced landing, the pilot landed with a 10 knot tailwind more than half way along the strip. He was unable to stop the aircraft from overrunning the end of the strip. The aircraft was damaged by foliage.
