Circumstances:
During the takeoff roll at Campo de Marte AFB runway 12, the right engine lost power. The crew decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and initiated an emergency braking manoeuvre.

All four occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
Loss of power on the right engine during takeoff for unknown reasons.
