NTSB Factual Report

The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the landing roll, the airplane drifted to the right and he applied left rudder to correct. The airplane exited the runway to the right and ground looped to the right. The left wing and left elevator impacted the ground and sustained substantial damage.

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

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
