The airplane landed hard bending the nose gear aft and damaging the firewall. The pilot did not report experiencing any flight control or mechanical anomalies with the airplane prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for winds during landing. Contributing to the accident was a wind gust.
