Summary:
Shortly after takeoff the aircraft developed a rough running engine and suffered a reduction in engine power. The aircraft was unable to maintain height to allow a return to the airfield and the pilot landed in a field during which the aircraft was extensively damaged. The pilot had recently refuelled the aircraft with E10 Mogas, which the LAA does not approve for use on their Permit to Fly aircraft.
