Read the full NTSB narrative
During takeoff initial climb at approximately 300 feet AGL, the engine had a partial loss of power. The 725-hour pilot attempted to return to the airport but the airplane collided with the roof of a house located approximately 400 yards from the end of Runway 30. The collision resulted in a fire that consumed the aircraft and the house; however, there were no reported injuries to anyone on the ground. Examination of the engine by an FAA inspector, who responded to the accident site, revealed no anomalies in the engine; however, the engine sustained extensive fire damage. The magnetos and carburetor were completely destroyed by fire. The reason for the reported loss of power could not be determined.
