Narrative:

Downwind for runway 8 at hoh, hi, engine loses power, propeller windmilling. Immediate turn in to runway to land. Uneventful landing. Pulled off into grassy area near taxiway. People who witnessed event teased me about fuel starvation but my fuel calculations proved to be correct. I landed with required reserves -- all in right tank. Maintenance will check for fuel flow problems. Disappointed to see fellow pilots assume the worse initially and spread an unfounded rumor.
