The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that he was performing touch-and-go landings. While performing a three-point landing on the center of the runway, a gust of wind struck the airplane from the right. The airplane initially swerved slightly, then rapidly to the right and the left wing contacted the ground. The pilot then taxied the airplane back to the ramp uneventfully. The left wing and elevator were substantially damaged during the accident. The pilot stated there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The recorded wind conditions at the time of the accident included a 50° right crosswind at 7 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing roll in crosswind conditions.
