Narrative:
On training flight with a private pilot, working on a tailwheel transition in his 1946 aeronca chief 11 AC with a 65 hp continental engine. We were on takeoff. It was a hot day with a low climb rate. At 400 ft AGL, all of a sudden there was a loud noise, vibration and crunch. The engine failed. (It has thrown a rod). The student yelled, it's yours. You take it. I took over, dropped the nose to gain airspeed he had lost. Maneuvered to a farm field to the left. We landed with no damage to aircraft or property. Judging from pilots I have given biennials, instruction in tailwheels, etc, I feel there should be more training on power off emergency lndgs.
