Analysis

The engine quit after takeoff at about 200 ft AGL. A ldg was made in a plowed field where the acft flipped over inverted. The CFI PIC reported that, prior to takeoff, he had calculated there was adequate fuel on board for the flt; his calculations were based on an assumed prior acft usage of 3.9 hrs and fuel tank gage readings near 1/4 full. Information obtained from the acft operator indicated that the acft was last refueled 5.1 hrs prior to the accident. Post-crash examination of the acft revealed no evidence of fuel in the acft sumps or carb fuel bowl. A post-crash test run of the engine revealed no discrepancies.
