The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
An airport's automated weather observation station located 7 miles to the south-east, reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was variable at 4 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point during landing with a tail wind, which resulted in a runway excursion.
