As the airplane crossed the threshold the pilot pulled the power back to idle, but as his landing gear touched the runway the airplane suddenly bounced twice. The pilot attempted to abort the landing by adding full power, raising the flaps, and retracting the landing gear, but the plane would not accelerate or climb. The airplane stayed in ground effect, weaving back and forth, then exited the runway to the right before impacting a taxiway sign with its left wing. The airplane subsequently swung around to the left, coming to rest in an upright position facing west. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing root area and main spar. Reported wind at the time of the accident was 270 degrees at 8 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare, failure to maintain directional control, and inadequate remedial action, which resulted in the airplane impacting a taxiway sign along the side of the runway. A factor contributing to the accident was the taxiway sign.
