During landing rollout the airplane veered off the left side of runway 16R, ground looped, and the lower right wing contacted the ground. According to the pilot, he was unable to keep his airplane on the runway because a gusty crosswind condition existed. The pilot said he had a total of 9.3 hours of pilot-in-command flying experience in the airplane. Van Nuys Airport reported its local wind was from 100 to 110 degrees, at 10 knots.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing rollout. Factors which contributed to the loss of control were: the pilot's total lack of experience landing the conventional gear airplane in a crosswind condition, and the crosswind.
