AFTER A RUN-UP OF 30 SECONDS HE DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN. THE POWER LOSS OCCURRED AT ABOUT 200 FT AGL AND THE PILOT TRIED TO MAKE A 180 DEGREE TURN. THE ACFT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER CAUGHT A TREE LIMB NEAR THE RWY AND THE ACFT HIT HARD ON THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. THE ACFT WAS NOT TOPPED OFF AFTER ITS PREVIOUS FLT.
