THEY DEPARTED SHEBOYGAN MEMORIAL AIRPORT (KSBM) AROUND 14:30PM (CST) AND BEFORE FLYING THE AIRCRAFT THEY CHECKED AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 45 GALLONS OF FUEL. THE PIC ESTIMATED THAT THEY FLEW FOR ABOUT 45 MIN WHEN THEY NOTICED A PERFORMANCE CHANGE IN THE AIRCRAFT AND SOMETHING WAS NOT NORMAL. THEY PULLED THE CARB HEAT ON AND DID NOT NOTICE A CHANGE IN RPM THEN PUSHED THE CARB HEAT OFF. USING THEIR YOUR RESOURCES YOU DETERMINED THAT MANITOWOC AIRPORT (KMTW) WAS APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MILES AWAY AND SHEBOYGAN WAS ABOUT 14 MILES SO THEY DECIDED TO GO TO MTW. WHILE APPROACHING MTW IT WAS RECOGNIZED THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE FIELD SO THEY LOOKED FOR THE BEST PLACE TO DO A FORCED LANDING AND STAY CLEAR OF PEOPLE THE AIRCRAFT HIT TREES ON A RIDGE WHICH CAUSED IT TO FLIP OVER AND COME TO REST ON A STEEP INCLINE INTO A VALLEY.
