Narrative:

Preflight was conducted successfully and the aircraft was full of fuel and oil. A proper run-up was conducted with a successful check of both magnetos and a check of full throttle authority without any failure in power. During the takeoff phase of the flight at 100 ft AGL in the experimental light sport tail wheel aircraft; the aircraft lost all power from the engine. After this occurrence I conducted the proper emergency procedures by pitching for approach speed to landing the aircraft. During the landing phase both front wheels touched down at the proper airspeed and at the same time. However; I felt roughness from the right main gear. All of a sudden there was no support from the right landing gear according to my perception from the left seat of the aircraft. Understanding this led me to input full left aileron to keep the weight off the right side of the airplane as long as possible as the gear collapsed to prevent further damage.
