What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Upon landing on rwy 18 at approximately 65 KTS, pilot reported the aircraft veered hard left when the front wheels were pinned and the tail wheel was still in the air. Pilot applied right rudder with no effect. Pilot then applied hard right rudder and the aircraft continued to veer hard left. The tail of the aircraft then swung around to the right causing the aircraft to side skid to the right on the main gear. After skidding for approximately 20-30 feet, the right main gear collapsed and separated from the aircraft causing the right wing and right stabilator to strike the ground causing substantial damage to the right wing and right stabilator.
