Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot's inadequate flare, which resulted in a bounced landing and subsequent loss of aircraft control during landing.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that during touchdown in the tailwheel equipped airplane, it bounced once, and as the airplane main landing gear made contact with the runway, the right landing gear strut collapsed. The pilot lost directional control and the airplane ground looped. The fuselage and right wing sustained substantial damaged.
The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
