With a 10-12 knot headwind on final, at about 6-8 feet off the ground, the aircraft suddenly dropped. The pilot flared quickly to a nose-up attitude and the aircraft bounced off the main undercarriage. The stall warning sounded and the plane fell suddenly to the runway, damaging the main left and nose wheel, and the propeller struck the runway.
