NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that following an uneventful landing in a tailwheel equipped airplane in light and variable wind conditions, the airplane suddenly pulled hard to the right. Despite his control inputs, the airplane ground looped. Subsequently, the left main landing gear collapsed, which resulted in structural damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing.
