Approximately 5 miles from the departure airport, the engine started to lose power. The pilot turned the airplane back toward the airport; however, the engine regained power, and the pilot elected to continue the flight. Approximately 25 minutes later, the engine gradually lost power, then after 2 minutes, the engine lost total power. In an attempt to regain engine power, the pilot checked the magnetos, fuel boost pump, and adjusted the throttle, mixture, and propeller settings. Unable to restart the engine, the pilot initiated a forced landing to a field. During the forced landing, the airplane struck a ditch, flipped over, and came to rest inverted. No anomalies were noted during an examination of the engine and airframe. The engine was test run at various low power settings with no anomalies noted. The reason for the total loss of engine power was not determined.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
