NTSB Factual Report

Following a cross-country flight, the pilot lost directional control of the tailwheel equipped airplane during the landing roll. The airplane exited the side of the runway and ground looped before coming to rest in an upright position. During the ground loop, the right wheel broke off and the right wing sustained substantial damage when it impacted the ground. The pilot reported no preimpact 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.
