Default Thunder Tiger Pro 46 - Dead stick

This is a new engine.
I have done the break-in of starting the engine for 2-3 min and let it cool. I have repeated this about 10 times. I did take it up one day for a short 4 minute flight. No problems.
Friday after work I went to the field. Had some trouble starting it, got it started and tried to get it to run. Had to adjust the low and high end needle valves. On the ground I did point the nose in the air while at full throttle, no problems.
Took off and at the end of the runway at 40-50 feet and full throttle it quit. Had to put it in the weeds. Broke the prop and some damage to the front of the plane, minor.

Ok, what is wrong. I have a new tank, new lines good fuel, new plug.

What do I do now?
