## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE PILOT TOOK OFF FROM A PRIVATE FAMILY AIRPORT HEADING WEST AND TURNED LEFT TO A HEADING OF EAST FOR THE DOWNWIND LEG WHILE CONTINUING TO CLIMB. WHEN THE POWER WAS RETARDED TO SET CRUISE POWER, THE ENGINE QUIT.  THE PILOT TURNED SLIGHTLY NORTH TO CLEAR SOME WIRES ALONG THE ROAD AND WENT THROUGH A GAP IN THE TREES JUST NORTH OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.  AFTER TOUCHDOWN, TO AVOID A DITCH AND SOME TREES, LEFT RUDDER AND BRAKE WAS APPLIED TO GROUND LOOP AND STOP THE AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT CAUGHT THE GROUND AND PITCHED UP AND OVER ENDING UPSIDE DOWN.
