On a flight check of the UAS, the operator could not conduct a normal landing due to an inability to sufficiently reduce engine speed to idle. The engine was shut down and the aircraft glided to land in an agricultural field in which it sustained considerable damage. An inlet manifold cylinder head gasket leak was determined as the primary cause of the heightened idle RPM.
