Analysis
The acft nosed over during a forced landing immediately after takeoff. The acft had been parked outdoors and not flown for six months and according to witnesses the plt did nothing except add 10 gallons of fuel to the acft tanks. The acft engine quit when the acft was about 100 ft AGL. A FAA inspector found water in the fuel tanks and system. The acft was out of date on an annual inspection. The plt did not obtain a ferry permit.
