Narrative:
The private pilot was landing when he used right rudder to correct for drift and inadvertently applied uneven right braking. The left main gear on the experimental amateur built airplane then collapsed causing the left wing and the propeller to strike the runway. There was substantial damage to the left wing, but no injuries to the solo pilot.
Probable Cause:
The collapse of the left main landing gear which resulted in the pilot's failure to maintain directional control.
