REPORTEDLY, THE PASSENGER, WHO WAS BUILDING AN ULTRALIGHT ACFT, WAS IN THE LEFT SEAT & WAS BEING FAMILIARIZED WITH FLT PROCEDURES. THE INSTRUCTOR DETERMINED THAT THE WINDS AT AN UNCONTROLLED ARPT WERE LIGHT FROM 160 DEG. HE MADE 3 CALLS ON THE UNICOM FREQUENCY, BUT GOT NO REPLY, SO HE ELECTED TO LAND ON RWY 19. WHILE ON A SHORT FINAL HE NOTICED ANOTHER ACFT LANDING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. REPORTEDLY, THE INSTRUCTOR INITIATED A GO-AROUND & STARTED A TURN TO AVOID A COLLISION. HE STATED THAT HE ENCOUNTERED TURBULENCE, WHICH MADE FURTHER STABILIZED FLIGHT IMPOSSIBLE. SUBSEQUENTLY, HE LANDED IN A PLOWED FIELD TO AVOID FLYING INTO TREES. HOWEVER, AT THE LAST MOMENT DURING THE LANDING, THE RIGHT WING DIPPED & HIT THE GROUND.
