THE CERTIFIED FLT INSTRUCTOR (CFI) STATED THAT HE WAS GIVING MULTIENGINE INSTRUCTION. ALL BASIC SINGLE AND MULTI- ENGINE MANEUVERS HAD BEEN COMPLETED. THE CFI REDUCED THE PWR ON ONE ENGINE TO SIMULATE A SINGLE ENGINE LANDING. THE CFI STATED THAT A NORMAL APPROACH HAD BEEN FLOWN AND THAT ON TOUCHDOWN THE AIRCRAFT LANDED 'A LITTLE LONG AND FAST, THE LEFT MAIN GEAR TOUCHED AND WE BEGAN PORPOISING.' THE CFI CALLED FOR A GO-AROUND AND THE LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN SOUNDED. THE CFI TOOK CONTROL OF THE ACFT AND ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND BUT THE RIGHT PROP STRUCK THE GROUND. HE REDUCED THE PWR AND THE ACFT SKIDDED TO A STOP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY.
