The pilot took off from Kitty Hawk (FAKT) for two circuits, followed by a scenic flight. During the flight the engine started running rough, so the pilot elected to execute a forced landing. During the landing the aircraft dived into the soft ground and it nosed over. The pilot sustained minor injuries. The aircraft sustained damages to the propeller, wings, left hand wings strut bent; vertical stabilizer and the nose wheel broke off. Probable Cause Unsuccessful forced landing due to engine failure because both magnetos were earthed via bad condenser leads.
