The pilot lost directional control and the airplane ground looped. The fuselage and right wing sustained substantial damaged.
The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate flare, which resulted in a bounced landing and subsequent loss of aircraft control during landing.
