The aircraft suffered a partial engine failure on climb out during takeoff. On initial indication of rough running, the pilot commenced turn back to reciprocal runway (whilst making a radio call ‘landing back on’) and landed diagonally across the verges of the runway. Once stopped, they made a radio call to aircraft in the area that they were on the ground, safe and clear of operational areas. Initial inspection of the aircraft indicated no apparent damage and was therefore taxied back to the apron. Closer inspection found that the right-hand main landing gear leg was deformed as a result of the heavy landing. In discussing the incident with the CFI, the pilot recounted that whilst they were doing pre-takeoff checks, they had inadvertently turned both fuel taps to the off position.
