About 15 minutes after takeoff, during cruise flight, the experimental airplane's engine lost all power. The pilot made a forced landing on rough terrain. On short approach to the field, the airplane impacted a hillside and was substantially damaged. The pilot had manufactured the airplane and installed a Subaru engine. An examination of the engine revealed an internal failure of its electric fuel pump.
Probable Cause: a failure of the fuel pump, which induced a total loss of engine power.
