What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircrafft N6432D was established in a left closed traffic runway 26 at Chino Airport CA performing touch and go landings. On the final landing, N6432D hit the runway in a wheel landing, bounced back into the air at an angle with the nose pointing to the right, the pilot lost control allowing the aircraft to slide a few hundred feet off the runway into the grass area. There were no injuries, however the aircraft sustained major damage to the landing gear, fuselage, engine and motor mounts. The aircraft owner stated that the front pilot was in command of the aircraft, but after the bounce it was possible the more experienced rear seat pilot took over but was still not able to correct the for the misalignment with the runway. Winds were 13 knotts down the runway and the aircraft was an North American AT6D taildragger.
