Read the full NTSB narrative
While in cruise flight, the homebuilt airplane's engine lost total power. During the forced landing, the airplane's left wing contacted the ground and the airplane nosed over. Examination of the engine revealed that the magneto (mag) cylinder connecting rod bearing had failed. Additionally, the 2-cycle engine had been manufactured as a snowmobile engine.
