THE HOMEBUILT AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A HANGER WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH TO LAND AFTER A LOSS OF POWER. THE TEMP/DEW POINT RATIO WAS 76/55. THIS WAS A DEMONSTRATION FLT WHICH FOLLOWED A SOLO, CHECK OUT FLIGHT AROUND THE PATTERN AND TWO OTHER DEMONSTRATION FLIGHTS. ON-SITE EXAMINATION REVEALED THE PRESENCE OF FUEL AND THAT THE PROPELLER WAS TURNING AT IMPACT. THE DAMAGED PROPELLER AND CARBURETOR WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THE MOUNT FOR THE CARBURETOR WAS BENT, THE GAP AROUND THE CARBURETOR AND FLANG WAS SEALED WITH A SILICONE SEALER AND THE ENGINE RAN SMOOTHLY DURING A TEST RUN. CAUSE: ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO CARBURETOR ICE.
