Analysis
The instructor plt stated that on takeoff just as he turned his crosswind leg, the engine lost power and he turned back to the airport, landed short of the runway and the aircraft flipped over and came to rest inverted. Post crash examination of the engine revealed no discrepancies, therefore no determination could be made as to the nature of the malfunction of the engine as described by the pilot.
