THE PILOT MISSED A BANNER PICK-UP, PULLED UP ABRUPTLY AND LEVELED OFF AT ABOUT 350 FEET. THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE PILOT LOWERED THE NOSE WHILE IN A RIGHT TURN IN AN ATTEMPT TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT. HE STATED THAT ENGINE POWER WAS RESTORED WHILE IN THE NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE BUT RECOVERY COULD NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED PRIOR TO IMPACT. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE FAILED TO REVEAL ANY EVIDENCE OF PRE-ACCIDENT MALFUNCTION WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE LOSS OF POWER.
