The pilot was landing on runway 16. After touchdown, the gyrocopter encountered a wind gust and became airborne again. The pilot intended to maintain flight to prevent the gyrocopter from falling onto the runway; however, he made a "wrong correction." The gyrocopter then rolled onto it's left side and impacted the ground. The pilot said he did not experience any mechanical problems. Winds reported at the airport, about the time of the accident, were from 080 degrees, at 5 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control while landing. A factor in this accident was the crosswind condition.
