Analysis
The pilot made a night landing, nose high and dragged the rear propeller. In attempting a go-around, he dragged a wing and decided to abort. During the aborted go-around, he ran off the end of the runway and damaged the aircraft on rough, brushy terrain. The pilot stated that he needed more night training.
