The pilot flew the aircraft from joseph, or (jsy) to Johnson Creek, ID (3U2) with 200 lbs of gear (note: the gear that was in the aircraft was weighed on calibrated scales and came to 237 lbs.), full fuel, pilot and passenger. During the previous leg to jsy the pilot was having directional control problems while taking off and landing. He also experienced a tail wheel shimmy. He topped off with fuel at jsy. On approach to 3U2 the aircraft was higher than normal at the turn to final. The pilot put the aircraft in a slip to lose altitude. When over the approach end of the runway he took the aircraft out of the slip but was descending faster than he would have liked. He touched down above normal landing speed and at a higher than normal descent rate. At touchdown the aircraft bounced into the air. The pilot added power to stabilize the aircraft. He descended and the aircraft bounced again at touchdown. This time the pilot added power to go-around. The attempted landing was to an up hill strip with rising terrain and a house at the opposite end. At the time of the accident the density altitude was estimated to be at 8000 ft. on go around the pilot turned the aircraft slightly to the left to try to fly through a slightly lower area of trees. The aircraft was flying slowly, the left wing dipped, the pilot was able to get the wings level but the left wing then struck a large Pine tree about 30 ft above the ground. The aircraft then flipped over and the nose of the aircraft struck the front of a suburban. The aircraft was totally destroyed.
