Analysis
While practicing power on stalls and gliding turns the pilot stated that the engine would not respond with half throttle. A forced landing was made after passing up two rough fields for a more distant one at a higher altitude. The pilot stated he should have cleared the engine at 500 foot intervals while performing gliding turns.
