The pilot reported that on his first landing attempt the airplane touched down with excessive force and he executed a go-around. On the pilot’s second attempt the airplane again landed with excessive force, but he thought he could still land the airplane. The airplane porpoised, nosed forward, and struck the propeller on the runway. The pilot reported that the airplane sustained damage to the propeller, nose landing gear, left wing, and firewall. Photographs of the airplane after the accident showed substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation.
