According to the pilot, he had applied full control deflection in order to correct for the wind during the landing approach. During the landing flare, the crosswind shifted to a different direction and the pilot "lost control" of the airplane. The right wing tip contacted the runway which resulted in substantial damage.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing flare, which resulted in the right wing contacting the runway. A factor was the crosswind.
