The student pilot stated, after taking off, and at an altitude of about 200 to 300 feet mean sea level, the engine lost power. The pilot made a 180-degree turn back to the airport, but was unable to reach the runway, and impacted with trees on the northwest corner of the airport. The FAA inspector who responded to the accident stated that several discrepancies were found during the postaccident examination of the engine. The shielding was separated on five of the eight ignition leads, the No. 2 cylinder ignition lead was misfiring into the shielding, and there was excessive play in the carburetor throttle shaft. The contacts on the distributor blocks of both magnetos were burned and worn, and the fuel screen was very dirty.
