The aircraft was substantially damaged during a crosswind landing. There were no injuries. The pilot stated that the aircraft landed in a three point attitude. He reported that there was a gusting crosswind and his use of rudder to enhance forward visibility caused the aircraft to lose directional control. The pilot stated that he added full power in an attempt to go around, but this caused the aircraft to ground loop.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the crosswind landing which resulted in the inadvertent ground loop.
