The airplane sustained substantial damage when it nosed over during an emergency landing following a loss of engine power on takeoff. The pilot reported he did not have the fuel valve in the proper position during takeoff. The pilot stated he turned to the left to avoid landing in a ditch, after the engine failed during initial climb. The pilot's last biennial flight review was June 6, 1997.
Probable Cause: The checklist not followed by the pilot and the fuel starvation of the engine. The incorrect fuel tank selector position by the pilot,, and the lack of recurrent training were contributing factors.
