Narrative:

Tanks full at takeoff; sumped all points after fueling; departed on runway 5. Normal power on initial climbout. 8 to 10 minutes into flight reduced fuel flow and some loss of power. Another 5 minutes complete power loss. Tried mixture; throttle; fuel selector to aux tank; at this point 1 mile from pgv 3;500 feet. Spiral down to field. Ended up not aligned with runway at too low an altitude and had to land off the runway at an angle. Safe landing but some damage to the aircraft. Tanks near full when on the ground. At this point reason for fuel flow problem not determined. [It] would be good to practice spiral down to runway. [I'm] not sure what to do to detect the flow issue. Fuel pressure normal; full fuel; hot day; sumped for water. Maybe a larger sump sample. Maybe longer settling time.
