| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that he had a slightly high descent rate and bounced on landing. After the bounce, he initiated a go-around and the airplane "rapidly yawed left approximately 45 degrees" and he heard the stall warning horn. Subsequently, the pilot immediately lowered the nose but touched back down on the runway in a left 25 degree yaw angle to the runway centerline. Upon touchdown, the right main landing gear separated, the right wing impacted the runway, and the airplane departed the runway surface to the left. The right wing sustained substantial damage.
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain yaw control during a go-around, which resulted in a right main landing gear collapse and the right wing impacting terrain during a runway excursion.
