Factual narrative
THE STEEN SKYBOLT MODIFIED WITH A TURBO-PROP CONVERSION EXPERIENCED A POWER LOSS ON TAKEOFF AFTER ACHIEVING AN ALTITUDE OF 200-300 FT AGL AND MADE A HARD LANDING ON THE RUNWAY REMAINING. THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND AIRCRAFT RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. THIS WAS HE INITIAL TEST FLIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE CAUSE OF THE POWER LOSS COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.
