Narrative:
Normal checklist run up. Departed and at midfield and approximately 150 feet altitude; experienced a complete loss of power...straight ahead landing not an option due to rugged terrain with trees...180 turn executed with very hard landing and roll out into a fence near the parking area. Prop strike; front wheel separation; cowling damage. I was the only occupant and had no injuries what so ever. Jp instrument [engine monitor] data reveals a drop in fuel flow from 26 gph to 0 and rpm from 2850 to 0 in approx 12 seconds. Fuel on board was 30.8 gallons...fuel selector valve was on the fullest tank that had approximately 23 gallons.
