| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was performing aerobatic maneuvers when the engine stopped producing power. He was unable to restart the engine and made a forced landing to a grass runway. The pilot landed the airplane half-way down the runway, but he was unable to stop it before it overran the runway and struck a utility pole. A postaccident test run of the engine and examinations of the engine and airplane did not reveal any preaccident malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the engine did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
