After takeoff, the airplane climbed to 400 feet above the ground, when the engine quit. The pilot performed a forced landing to a grass field located off the departure end of a perpendicular runway, and the airplane came to rest in a wooded area. Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration Inspector revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane. An undetermined amount of fuel was observed in both wing tanks. All fuel and oil filters were intact and no contaminants were observed. The spark plugs were removed, and their electrodes were intact and light gray in color. The left and right magnetos were tested, by rotating the engine, and produced spark on all leads. The airplane's engine was then prepared for a test run, and started. The engine ran for about 7 minutes, then was shut down.
Probable Cause: The total loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
