Witnesses reported that, as the airplane neared the runway, the pilot "flared too high" and that the airplane then "stalled," descended, and impacted the runway. Once the airplane was over the runway centerline, the pilot attempted to add power however, the engine did not respond. The pilot chose to return to the runway and performed a 180-degree turn. During the initial climb, about 200 ft above ground level and just over the departure end of the runway, the pilot noticed that the airplane was not producing full power witnesses corroborated that the engine lost partial power after the airplane reached the end of the runway. In addition, he performed an engine run-up, and everything was normal. The pilot reported that he performed a preflight inspection with no anomalies noted.
