Probable Cause

The pilot's mismanagement of the airplane's altitude, airspeed, and course during a forced landing following a partial loss of engine power, which resulted in collision with trees and terrain. Contributing was the pilot’s inadvertent omission of stowing the carburetor choke before takeoff and in-flight after experiencing a partial loss of engine power.
