On the second landing of a familiarisation flight in the tailwheel aircraft, the pilot under instruction flared too high. The aircraft "skipped" onto the main wheels and a series of rudder overcorrections ensued in the pilot's attempts to maintain directional control. The aircraft groundlooped to the right, the left undercarriage collapsed, and the left wingtip struck the ground.
