The pilot touched down on runway 02, which was 4,279 feet long, 200 feet wide, with an asphalt surface, about 500 feet beyond the approach end of the runway. As he applied the brakes, the right brake "seemed to pull harder than the left," and he immediately released the brake pressure. The pilot applied left rudder to compensate for the situation, and the airplane began to "fishtail" down the runway. The airplane traveled off the right side of the runway, and impacted a concrete block, shearing off the right landing gear and damaging the right wing. Examination of the airplane revealed no pre-impact mechanical deficiencies with the airplane, and no skid marks were observed on the runway. The winds were reported to be from 190 degrees at 6 knots. The pilot reported 89 hours of total flight experience, 5 of which were in make and model.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing. A factor was the tail wind.
