The commercial certificated pilot, who occupied the right front seat, was landing a tundra tire-equipped experimental homebuilt airplane on runway 13, at a private, turf-surface airport. The runway is 1,078 feet long and 50 feet wide, and the pilot indicated that the surface was wet. During the landing approach, the pilot said that he noticed a slight crosswind from the right, but described the wind conditions as light and variable. He reported that about 10 feet above the runway, the airplane dropped and bounced. He added engine power to recover from the bounce, but the right crosswind turned the airplane toward trees located along the left side of the runway. During the recovery, the right wingtip contacted the ground, turning the airplane sideways. The airplane slid on the wet grass surface into trees and a residential fence. The wind at an international airport, located 5 nautical miles northwest of the accident site, was from 160 degrees (true) at 7 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll. Factors in the accident were the pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind condition, and the misjudged landing flare.
