The pilot reported he flew in instrument meteorological conditions en route to the destination airport. He had planned an instrument approach to runway 13.

The pilot said he landed with a tailwind on the wet runway. Winds were from 290 degrees at 11 knots. A witness saw the airplane land long and porpoise during the landing. The airplane sustained substantial damage when it departed the runway.
