NTSB Factual Report

The pilot stated that this was his first landing on pavement in his tailwheel-equipped airplane with 29-inch tundra tires. He landed hard as a result of a slower than normal approach speed. After touchdown, he lost directional control and entered a ground loop to the right, resulting in substantial damage to the right aileron.

The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's loss of directional control during landing, resulting in a collision with terrain.
