Narrative:
The pilot was the second airplane in a flight of two and he was number two for landing. During the base leg of the traffic pattern, he became concerned about separation between his airplane the airplane landing in front of him. As the airplane in front of him started to clear the runway, the pilot noticed that he "had allowed an excessive sink rate to develop" and that his airplane had drifted to the right of the runway. The pilot elected to go around. The pilot said that during the go around, the airplane "was not able to accelerate or climb out of ground effect ..." The airplane subsequently impacted the ground, causing substantial damage to the landing gear and right wing. An examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed resulting in a stall. A contributing factor was the pilot's diverted attention.
