DURING THE FIRST FLIGHT FOLLOWING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, A TOTAL LOSS OF RIGHT ENGINE POWER OCCURRED. WHILE IN THE INITIAL CLIMB AT APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET AGL AND 100 MILES PER HOUR, THE AIRPLANE WOULD NOT CLEAR RISING TERRAIN. DURING THE FORCED LANDING THE AIRPLANE CLEARED A HIGHLINE AND CAME TO REST ON SLOPING TERRAIN. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED THE MAGNETO GROUNDING LEADS HAD NOT BEEN SECURED DURING THE ANNUAL INSPECTION.
