Incident
A single-engine airplane suffered a total loss of engine power shortly after takeoff. The pilot attempted to restart the engine but was unsuccessful. During the subsequent forced landing, the aircraft sustained substantial damage to the landing gear, both wings, and the engine firewall.
Occupants and Egress
The pilot, who had purchased the airplane on the morning of the accident, the sole passenger, and a flight instructor were aboard. All three occupants were able to exit the airplane unassisted.
Examination
A Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the aircraft. The fuel selector was found in the "Right Tank" position. However, due to impact damage, verification of the right tank fuel quantity was not possible.
Conclusion
The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
