Read the full NTSB narrative

The radial engine of the vintage airplane lost engine rpm shortly after takeoff. During the ensueing forced landing, the airplane departed the end of the runway, struck a ditch and fence, and came to rest inverted, resulting in substantial damage. Examination of the engine revealed heat damage to the number one, two, and number nine cylinders. The number one cylinder exhibited excessive heat damage, which according to the FAA inspector and engine mechanic, would have rendered the cylinder inoperative and degraded engine performance. Examination of the remaining airframe and engine systems revealed a broken carburetor heat control arm. No other anomalies were discovered that may have contributed to the loss of power.
