Factual narrative

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE TOOK OFF TO FLIGHT TEST THE AIRCRAFT. AFTER TAKEOFF, HE TURNED DOWNWIND TO STAY IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN. ON DOWNWIND, THE POWER WAS REDUCED TO MAINTAIN SPACING BEHIND A CESSNA 150. WHEN THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED, THE ENGINE POWER BEGAN TO DETERIORATE. DUE TO THE TRAFFIC, THE PILOT ELECTED TO MAKE A FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD, SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. DURING THE LANDING, THE RIGHT GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PASSENGER AND THE OWNER SUSPECTED POSSIBLE CARBURETOR ICE, BUT THIS WAS NOT VERIFIED. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
