During climbout after takeoff, the rear engine lost partial power (1,700 rpm). The pilot started to turn around and return to the airpark, but changed his mind and decided to maintain aircraft control by landing in a rough and uneven but open field. Postaccident examination disclosed the safety wire securing the propeller control cable to the support bracket had broken, allowing the cable housing to flex within the engine compartment. When the pilot reduced rpm to climb power, the safety wire broke. This prevented the pilot from feathering or changing the rear propeller pitch settings.
Probable Cause: Breakage of the safety wire that secured the propeller control cable to the support bracket. Factors were the inability of the pilot to feather the propeller or change propeller rpm, and rough, uneven, and unsuitable terrain on which to make a forced landing.
