Accident Details
A pilot of a tailwheel-equipped airplane reported an accident during a landing attempt at a private grass airstrip. The pilot stated that he touched down long to avoid water on the runway. During the landing roll, the airplane encountered a thermal and became airborne again for approximately 100 feet.
Aborted Landing and Stall
Realizing that he could not stop within the remaining runway distance, the pilot aborted the landing and initiated a go-around. During the initial climb of the aborted landing, the airplane entered an aerodynamic stall. The left wing then impacted the terrain, and the airplane nosed over.
Damage and Mechanical Status
The accident resulted in substantial damage to both wings of the airplane. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
