During the climb out after takeoff, the airplane's engine lost partial power. The pilot could not maintain altitude and performed a forced landing to a highway. Upon touchdown, the airplane bounced and then veered off the paved lane into a ditch. The airplane received substantial damage to the forward canards. Examination of the engine revealed the No. 1 cylinder exhaust valve had seized in the valve guide in the open position due to the buildup of carbon on the valve stem.
Probable Cause: The partial loss of engine power due to the seizure of the No. 1 cylinder exhaust valve in the valve guide.
