That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N74CF's record changes.
The pilot reported that after he landed, the airplane bounced once, contacted the runway again, and then immediately veered to the right. The pilot attempted to correct by adding full left rudder and left brake; however, the airplane did not respond to the control inputs and continued to slide to the right. The left wing struck the runway, and the left wheel contacted a berm adjacent to the runway. The left wheel separated from the landing gear, and the airplane flipped over onto its back and came to rest inverted in the grass next to the runway. The vertical stabilizer and rudder were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
