Analysis
The private pilot was landing the homebuilt airplane when he used right rudder to correct for drift, and he inadvertently applied uneven right braking. Shortly thereafter, the left main gear then collapsed causing the left wing and the propeller to strike the runway. There was substantial damage to the left wing, but no injuries to the solo pilot.
