The pilot reported that he heard a "pop noise" during his three-point landing. The airplane's nose veered right and the right wing dropped. The right main landing gear collapsed. The right wing sustained substantial damage when it contacted the runway. A post accident examination of the separated landing gear strut revealed that the interior of the strut exhibited a rust color consistent with oxidation. The separation was consistent with overload.
