The airplane departed from a 2,600-foot long airstrip normally used by local agricultural aircraft. The airplane cleared the airstrip perimeter fence, power lines, and tall trees at the departure end when the engine lost power. Subsequently, the airplane impacted the ground in a nose low attitude and came to rest in the inverted position among tall sage brush. The pilot reported that the engine lost power due to carburetor ice.
