The airplane had been taken for a test flight to check on the installation of a new propeller. On the test flight the propeller vibrated 'a lot' and the pilot landed to have the propeller adjusted. On the subsequent takeoff, the pilot said at an altitude of about 750 feet mean sea level (msl), the engine lost power and then momentarily was restored. The pilot maneuvered the airplane back to the airport. At an altitude of about 400 feet msl, the airplane's engine lost complete power, and the airplane struck trees. Examination of the engine revealed fuel was present and the fuel in the airplane was clean. The examination of the engine did not reveal any discrepancies, and the cause of the loss of engine power was not determined.
Probable Cause: a forced landing due to an undetermined complete loss of engine power, and subsequent impact with tress.
