Incident Details
The pilot was performing a three-point landing (full stall landing). During the approach, the pilot flared high, and the tailwheel contacted the runway first. The main landing gear then struck the runway, causing the airplane to bounce back into the air.
Subsequent Events
The pilot added power in response to the bounce. The airplane rolled left and struck the ground again. The impact caused the right main landing gear to collapse, and the right wing struck the runway.
Pilot Experience
The pilot reported a total flight experience of 208 hours, including 28 hours in tailwheel airplanes, all of which were in the same make and model as the accident aircraft. The pilot stated that he had performed approximately 30 three-point landings and 20 wheel landings prior to the incident.
Weather Conditions
Although the pilot reported that the airplane was struck by a gust of wind, a check of the airport weather revealed calm winds at the time of the accident.
