NTSB Factual Report

According to the pilot, he had been practicing takeoffs and landings, in the tailwheel-equipped airplane. Upon landing the airplane touched down a little hard and veered to the left. He applied full right rudder and right brake and the airplane came to rest at the edge of the runway. During the accident sequence the airplane struck the right wing on the runway which resulted in substantial damage to a right wing rib and aileron. Examination of the airplane revealed no pre-accident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
