The pilot reported that the engine lost power as the airplane climbed through about 200 ft. AGL after takeoff. The airplane descended into trees, then fell to the ground. The temperature was 91 degrees F., the winds were estimated to be out of 300 degrees at 5 knots., and the pilot departed on runway 18. The FAA Inspector stated the airplane was 25 pounds over gross weight takeoff. Postaccident examination of the airframe and engine revealed no evidence of preimpact anomaly. The FAA inspector stated that conditions were conducive to the formation of carburetor ice, however there was no evidence of carburetor icing.
