Analysis
After returning from a sight-seeing flt to catalina island, the plt made an apch to rwy 19. The apch was high, so he went around. He landed on the 2nd apch, but the acft bounced, so he went around again. On the 3rd apch, he used 30 deg of flaps & had an airspeed of 75 knots. After touchdown the aircraft bounced. Porposied 3 times and subseqently was stopped on the shoulder of the runway. A post flt inspection revealed damage to the firewall, propeller tips, the belly, the nose gear and the flt controls were jammed. Repotedly, all systems were functioning properly prior to the hard landing.
