The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the empennage.
The pilot reported that there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with terrain.
