The airplane landed on a 3,594-foot-long, 50-foot-wide, asphalt runway. During the landing roll, the right tailwheel steering arm separated, which caused an uncontrollable right turn. The airplane departed the right side of the runway, struck trees, and came to rest upright. Examination of the tailwheel steering arm revealed that the fracture was adjacent to an apparent weld. The fracture surface was consistent with overstress, with no evidence of fatigue or preexisting cracking.
Probable Cause: An overload failure of the right tailwheel steering arm.
