Primary finding
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing roll and subsequent impact with terrain during go-around.
Investigator assessment
Analysis narrative
The pilot reported that while adjusting the aircraft's attitude for a 3-point tail-wheel landing, the aircraft bounced. Despite rudder and tail wheel inputs, the aircraft veered to the right side of the runway. The pilot elected to go around and applied full power. The airplane’s landing gear became entangled in nearby bushes and the airplane subsequently impacted terrain, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
