BOTH OF THE ACFT ENGS HAD JUST BEEN OVERHAULED. THE PLT DECIDED TO MAKE A MAINT TEST FLT & ELECTED TO LEAVE THE LNDG GEAR IN THE DOWN & LOCKED PSN. TAKEOFF & INITIAL CLIMB WERE NORMAL UNTIL ABOUT 300 TO 400 FT AGL. AT THAT TIME THE REAR ENG LOST POWER. THE PLT WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT FOR ABOUT 30 SEC, THEN IT LOST POWER AGAIN. HE FEATHERED THE REAR PROP, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MAINT ALT & SPEED (WITH THE GEAR EXTDD). TO AVOID A RIVER & ROUGH TERRAIN, HE HAD ALTERED HIS HEADING TO THE LEFT, THEN SAW TRANSMISSION LINES AHEAD. REALIZING THE ACFT WOULD NOT CLEAR THE LINES, HE TURNED FURTHER LEFT TOWARD THE ARPT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT CRASHED IN AN OPEN FIELD ON ARPT PROPERTY & WAS DAMAGED. NO PREIMPACT PART FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND. THE FLAPS WERE FOUND IN THE RETRACTED POSITION.
