NTSB Factual Report

According to the pilot of the Cessna 180, he had applied full control deflection in order to correct for the wind during the landing approach. During the landing flare, the crosswind shifted to a different direction and the pilot "lost control" of the airplane. The right wing tip contacted the runway which resulted in substantial damage.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing flare, which resulted in the right wing contacting the runway. A factor was the crosswind.
