The pilot reported that on two landing attempts, the airplane touched down hard and bounced multiple times. After the second landing attempt, the pilot aborted the landing and diverted to another airport. Five flight-legs later, the pilot returned to the airplane's rental location and noticed that the tail tie down fell off when he attempted to tie down the airplane. Further examination revealed substantial damage to the tail. The pilot did not report any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The solo student pilot reported that, upon touchdown, he maintained aft pressure on the control yoke to keep the nose landing gear off the runway, but the airplane bounced. The airplane's main landing gear touched down again hard, followed by the nose landing gear, which then collapsed, and the left wing impacted the grass adjacent the runway.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
