The flight instructor and private pilot arrived at their destination after an uneventful flight. Upon touchdown on the runway, the airplane porpoised, ballooned, and yawed to the left with the left wing low and the nose in a nose high attitude. The instructor took control of the aircraft and during the second landing attempt the right main gear collapsed. The right wing and propeller struck the runway. The airplane subsequently departed the left edge of the runway at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. No mechanical problems were reported by the pilot.
Probable Cause: The certified flight instructor's failure to recover from a porpoise during landing and his failure to maintain directional control.
