The aircraft (C-FMTX) was participating in an airshow at the Albion (Pine Hill) Airport, NY (U.S.A.) (K9G6). The aircraft ground-looped during the attempted landing on runway 10. The pilot and passenger were not injured. Damage to the aircraft consisted of the left main gear strut being torn off just above the wheel axle, the left wing top skin was warped out of shape at several locations, the left wing tip was crushed, the left aileron was damaged at the left trailing edge, the propeller had a ground strike on both propeller tips, and the right main gear rim separated from the tire at several spots along the rim. The investigation of the landing path revealled that the aircraft touched down slightly left of the centre line. The tire marks indicated a further drift to the left, followed by over-correction to the right. The aircraft skidded off the runway approximately one-third of the way down. The left main gear broke off the aircraft as it continued to turn right. The aircraft came to rest on a slight berm with the left wing on the ground. The pilot admitted that during the landing, he allowed the tail to contact the ground at too high a speed. The incident is being forwarded to the Canadian DOT for further investigation.
