The experimental homebuilt airplane impacted terrain following a partial loss of engine power during the climb to cruise over rough terrain. The throttle cable movement was 1/2-inch in the engine compartment when the throttle control was full forward in the cockpit. The airplane had not been flown in several months, and had not received a condition inspection in over a year. Numerous attempts to obtain a completed Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) were unsuccessful.
Probable Cause: the loose throttle cable resulting in a partial loss of engine power. Contributing factors were the pilot's failure to perform the required yearly condition inspection prior to flight and the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
