On 04/24/2024 at Emporia Municipal Airport (emp) in a Rans S-6ES conducting landing practice on runway 19 at approximately 17:30 local time. During the flare the pilot made the decision to go around. The pilot applied full power and lowered the nose but did not increase enough right rudder causing the aircraft to yaw to the left.
