Narrative:
The powere glider made a hard landing off the runway after the engine lost power during a go-around. The pilot said he planned this missed approach go-around maneuver prior to his approach. At about 400ft AGL he applied full throttle but the engine would not develop full power so the pilot elected to make a 180° turn and land downwind. The initial approach was to runway 22 with a wind of 200/10. Unable to reach the runway for landing he landed on the airport area in a roucht dirt grass area. Touchdown occurred at about 45kt and a wing was draggedduring roll-out.
