The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of airplane control just before touchdown in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in ground loop after touchdown.
