THE PILOT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF AND LANDED BACK ON THE RUNWAY. THE LANDING WAS HARD AND THE RIGHT WING WAS DAMAGED. THE FAA INVESTIGATOR CHECKED THE ENGINE AND FUEL SYSTEM FOR POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS AND WATER. NO WATER OR CONTAMINANTS WERE FOUND AND THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AND RUN TO ABOUT ONE THIRD POWER. THE PILOT/MECHANIC HAD JUST PERFORMED AN ANNUAL INSPECTION AND WAS PERFORMING A MAINTENANCE TEST FLIGHT. THE PILOT/MECHANIC STATED HE HAD OPERATED THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES ON THE GROUND.
