## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE PILOT AND HIS PASSENGER DEPARTED A34 ON A FLIGHT TO MEV.    UPON ARRIVAL, THE PILOTS PERFORMED A TOUCH AND GO LANDING.  DURING A SECOND LANDING, THE PILOT WAS LEFT OF THE RUNWAY CENTER LINE SO HE ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT TO THE RIGHT.  THE PILOT OVERCORRECTED TO THE RIGHT OF THE CENTERLINE, THEN SWERVED BACK LEFT AGAIN CROSSING THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE.  THESE CORRECTIVE OSCILLATIONS CONTINUED AND INTENSIFIED UNTIL THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR (WHEEL AND STRUT) FAILED AND THE RIGHT WING DROPPED TO THE TAXIWAY CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.
