The pilot said he was attempting to take off from a remote, off-airport landing site in gusty wind conditions. He said a gust of wind 'stuffed' the airplane onto to the ground shortly after lift-off. He landed hard, and aborted the takeoff. The airplane subsequently ground looped and damaged the right wing and right main landing gear.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate weather evaluation, inadequate compensation for the existing wind conditions, and failure to maintain directional control. A factor associated with the accident was the gusty wind.
