During the landing roll he encountered a gust of wind and lost control of the airplane. The plane departed the runway and fell off a 2-foot drop. Examination of the airplane revealed the left wing spar and left elevator were bent.
Probable Cause: The pilot failed to maintain directional control during landing. Contributing to the accident were the crosswinds and the rough terrain near the runway.
