| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot landed on runway 19 with an approximate 90 degree crosswind and a wind velocity in excess of 10 knots. While making the crosswind landing the main wheels were down and as the tail wheel touched the runway, the wind began to lift the left wing and the aircraft begin to drift to the right. After several attempts at corrective action the aircraft departed the pavement at about a 10 to 15 degree angle coming nearly to a stop as the wind caught and raised the tail overturning the aircraft. The nose over resulted in substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer and the right wing lift strut.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions on landing. A contributing factor was a crosswind.
