Analysis

The pilot and pilot rated passenger reported that while landing the tail wheeled-equipped airplane, the pilot was a little “drug in” and a 3-point landing was not attained. The airplane touched down firmly, and then veered slightly back and forth from side to side. Subsequently, as the airplane veered significantly to the right, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control and attempted a go-around. However, shortly thereafter, the left wing dropped and struck the runway, and the go-around was aborted. The airplane then veered off the runway and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunction or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
