The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during landing, as soon as the main landing gear touched down, the airplane yawed to the left. He tried to correct with right rudder and applied full power for a go-around. During the go-around, the airplane seemed to continue to yaw to the left, correcting with full right rudder. The airplane continued to drift left, aerodynamically stalled, and subsequently, collided with the ground.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage and empennage.
The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
