THE ACFT CONTACTED A 25 FT AGL 2 STRAND 14000 V POWER LINE. AFTER CONTACTING THE LINES, THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN IN A CORN FIELD AND TRAVELED FOR APRX 210 FT. THE ACFT THEN CROSSED A 2 LANE ROAD, STRUCK A DITCH SEPARATING THE CANARD/GEAR AND TRAVELED AN ADDITIONAL 80 FT BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE PLT STATED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WAS EXPERIENCED AT 2000 FT MSL AND THE POWER LINES WERE CONTACTED DURING THE FORCED LANDING. HOWEVER, THE DISTANCE TRAVELED BY THE ACFT AFTER LANDING AND HIGH TORQUE DAMAGE TO THE PROP INDICATE THE ACFT HAD ENGINE POWER. THE PLT WAS ALLOWED TO MOVE THE WRECKAGE TO MASSACHUSETTS WITH THE CONDITION THAT AN ENGINE TEARDOWN BE PERFORMED UNDER FAA SUPERVISION. THE PLT FAILED TO SUBMIT ANY INFO REGARDING THE TEARDOWN, IF PERFORMED.
