During the first attempted takeoff, the pilot experienced a rough engine condition and he elected to abort the takeoff. After several minutes of additional engine runup, the pilot attempted a second takeoff. During the second takeoff attempt, the engine developed normal power and the initial climbout was routine. As the airplane accelerated past the departure end of the runway, the engine lost power. The pilot elected to return to the airport for an emergency landing still losing power. The pilot selected an emergency landing area for a forced landing. As the pilot maneuvered for the emergency landing, the airplane collided with trees 300 yards east of the runway, and landed in an upright position. Examination of the accident site disclosed that fuel was recovered from the fuel system. The examination of the fuel system and the engine failed to disclose a mechanical malfunction or component failure. The carburetor heat lever was in cold position. Reviews of the existing weather conditions were favorable for the formation of carburetor ice.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. Factors were conditions favorable for the formation of carburetor ice.
