Narrative:

As I touched down on appropriate speed to make a 3 point landing, everything was normal. I immediately placed the control stick full aft and moved my feet up on the rudder pedals to be able to actuate the brakes as well as the rudder. I felt a pull (drop of a wing to the right) and I immediately corrected to the left. I then had to make an additional correction to the right at which point the aircraft immediately exited the runway. I heard a skidding noise from the tailwheel. The aircraft stopped completely off the runway, sustaining left wingtip, flap and aileron damage, as well as slight damage to the left main gear. Upon examination of the aircraft afterwards, the right strut was fully extended and the tailwheel strut was nearly collapsed. Perhaps this collapsed upon landing making steering difficult.

Title: A T6 PLT LOST CTL OF HIS ACFT AFTER TOUCHDOWN AND GND LOOPED DAMAGING THE ACFT.

Narrative: AS I TOUCHED DOWN ON APPROPRIATE SPD TO MAKE A 3 POINT LNDG, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I IMMEDIATELY PLACED THE CTL STICK FULL AFT AND MOVED MY FEET UP ON THE RUDDER PEDALS TO BE ABLE TO ACTUATE THE BRAKES AS WELL AS THE RUDDER. I FELT A PULL (DROP OF A WING TO THE R) AND I IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED TO THE L. I THEN HAD TO MAKE AN ADDITIONAL CORRECTION TO THE R AT WHICH POINT THE ACFT IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE RWY. I HEARD A SKIDDING NOISE FROM THE TAILWHEEL. THE ACFT STOPPED COMPLETELY OFF THE RWY, SUSTAINING L WINGTIP, FLAP AND AILERON DAMAGE, AS WELL AS SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE L MAIN GEAR. UPON EXAMINATION OF THE ACFT AFTERWARDS, THE R STRUT WAS FULLY EXTENDED AND THE TAILWHEEL STRUT WAS NEARLY COLLAPSED. PERHAPS THIS COLLAPSED UPON LNDG MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT.
