Incident Details
The pilot had been practicing steep turns, banks, and stalls before conducting five to six low approaches over the runway. On the first landing attempt, the aircraft touched down just past the runway numbers.
Pilot Account
The pilot stated that the airplane touched down and then bounced back into the air. In response, he lowered the nose. The aircraft then stalled and contacted the runway. The pilot was unable to maintain directional control with the rudder, and the airplane veered to the right. He applied left rudder and brakes, causing the airplane to skid into a 180-degree turn.
Damage
During the skidding turn, the main landing gear sheared off.
