AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO AN UNEVENTFUL FLIGHT, AIRCRAFT HAD A PARTIAL POWER LOSS DUE TO RISING WATER TEMPERATURE AND CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE. PILOT INDICATED THAT HE NOTICED A BURNING SMELL SO HE ELECTED TO MAKE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING IN A BEAN FIELD ABOUT 7 MILE SOUTH-WEST OF THE NAMPA AIRPORT.  DURING THE "FLAIR OUT" ON LANDING THE RUDDER, ELEVATOR, EMPANNAGE AND PROPELLER SUBSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.  THE PILOT REMOVED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE BEAN FIELD AND RECOVERED IT TO HIS HOME.
