The student pilot reported that he was attempting to land the special light-sport-airplane on runway 32, a 5,498-foot-long, 100-foot-wide, asphalt runway. During his first landing attempt, the airplane bounced and he elected to abort the landing. During his second landing attempt, the airplane bounced two times and he again elected to abort the landing; however, the left wing dropped and struck the taxiway. The airplane subsequently came to stop on the ground and sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The student pilot stated that he did not experience any malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The student pilot had accumulated about 50 hours of total flight experience, all in the same make and model as the accident airplane, and included about 15 hours during the 90 days that preceded the accident. Winds reported at the airport, about the time of the accident, were from 220 degrees at 4 knots.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during an aborted landing.
