Analysis
The owner of the aircraft was flying with the CFI for a biennial flight review. Shortly after takeoff, at approximately 700 feet, the engine quit. The owner selected what he thought was the best field and began the forced landing. The CFI took over the controls to try and reach what he thought was a better field. The right wing struck the ground, then the left wing and the gear collapsed.
