The amateur-built airplane experienced a total loss of engine power during the initial climb after takeoff, at an altitude of 750 feet. The non-certificated pilot prepared for a forced landing to a soybean field and added two notches of flaps. As the airplane touched down, it rolled approximately 40 feet and nosed over, substantially damaging the fuselage. Examination of the fuel pump revealed that the ceramic gears were jammed.
Probable Cause: The total loss of engine power during initial climb due to the failure of the fuel pump.
