WHILE THE PLT WAS MAKING HIS SECOND LANDING, THE ACFT BEGAN TO ROCK BACK & FORTH DURING THE ROLL-OUT. HE ADDED POWER TO CORRECT THE OSCILLATION, BUT SAID THE POWER HAD THE OPPOSITE EFFECT. HE LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL & THE ACFT SWERVED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY. THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED & THE RIGHT WING & PROP WERE DAMAGED. THE PLT BELIEVED HE RELEASED CONTROL PRESSURE WHEN THE AIRSPEED WAS TOO HIGH, THEN OVER CONTROLLED WITH THE RUDDER.
