Analysis
Final approach was slightly high & the student plt reduced power. As the throttle was advanced from 1400 RPM the eng quit. The acft touched down approximately 300 ft short of the rwy & rolled into a fence. The fence caught the nose gear & turned the acft slightly to the left. The right wing tip struck the ground & the acft slowly rolled over onto its back. The acft was sold for salvage before an examination of the eng & acft could be made.
