| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot made a normal landing but the airplane veered off the runway when the tail wheel made contact with the pavement. The airplane ground looped, sustaining damage to the left wing tip. The pilot said that rudder control inputs he made were ineffective in controlling the airplane. During a post-accident examination of the airplane, the pilot discovered that the bolts which attach the tail wheel assembly to the tail spring were sheared.
Probable Cause: The failure of the bolts securing the tail wheel to its attach point that resulted in a loss of directional control.
