NTSB Factual Report

The pilot of a tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, the airplane veered to the right and then left. He corrected the veer to the right, but "didn't get on it quick enough to stop the turn." The airplane continued to the left and ground looped.

A postaccident examination revealed that, the airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The automated weather observation station on the airport, about the time of the accident, reported that, the wind was from 190° at 6 knots. The pilot landed on runway 26.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll with crosswind conditions.
