Following a cross-country flight in a weight-shift aircraft, the solo student pilot approached for landing at a controlled airport. During the landing flare the aircraft began to drift to the right and the student pilot elected to perform a go-around maneuver. However, after initiating full engine throttle the main landing gear impacted the runway about 30-45 degrees off from the runway’s centerline. The aircraft then veered off the runway and came to rest on its right side. An examination of the aircraft following the mishap revealed that the wing had sustained structural damage.
