On April 11, 2000, about 1530 eastern daylight time, a Cooper Pitts S1S, N27235, registered to a private individual, went off the runway and collided with a hangar during landing at Spruce Creek Airport, Daytona Beach, Florida, while on a Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft received substantial damage and the commercial-rated pilot was not injured. The flight originated from Fernandina Beach, Florida, the same day, about 1445. The pilot stated the landing on runway 4 was normal. During landing rollout, the rudder suddenly went full to the right and the aircraft immediately turned to the right and went off the runway. He was unable to regain directional control and the aircraft collided with a hangar. His postcrash examination of the aircraft showed the forward tail wheel attach bolt had broken and the tail wheel had collapsed to the right and jammed the rudder to the right. The NTSB was not notified of the accident until April 21, 2000. The aircraft was examined by an FAA inspector after the accident. The inspector could not remove the remains of the failed bolt from the tail wheel and it was not retained for further examination.
