Accident Description
During takeoff from his private airstrip, the pilot of a tail-wheel equipped airplane lost control. The pilot reported that after the main wheels lifted off the ground, the airplane 'experienced an abrupt yaw.' In response, he attempted to counteract the yaw with opposite rudder input.
Sequence of Events
Following the abrupt yaw, the airplane began to 'crow hop, each time getting airborne a couple of feet, then returning to the ground.' The pilot was preparing to abort the takeoff when the right main landing gear collapsed. This resulted in the right wing impacting the ground.
Aircraft Damage
The collapse of the right main landing gear and the subsequent wing impact caused damage to the aircraft. No further details about the extent of damage were provided in the source.
Pilot Actions
The pilot attempted to correct the yaw with opposite rudder, but the crow-hopping motion continued. He was in the process of aborting the takeoff when the landing gear failure occurred.
