Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that she taxied the aircraft to the grass covered run-up area in preparation for takeoff. As the aircraft moved over the grass, a 'snapping' sound was heard and the aircraft 'tilted back and to the right.' The right wing and right side stabilizer contacted the ground. Inspection of the right side landing gear revealed that the right landing gear spring failed at the mating area of the outside support, located inside the aircraft fuselage. After the accident, and prior to NTSB or FAA notification, recovery personnel welded the gear leg back into place in order to move the aircraft from the run-up area.
