The pilot was making an approach to runway 22 at the McMinnville Municipal airport. He reported that on his second approach the winds remained light and variable, and that during the rollout phase following a 3-point landing, the aircraft began to veer to the right. He reported that he applied full left rudder but could not maintain directional control. A witness reported that he, "saw full left rudder and heard the squeal of the tire, but the airplane continued around to the right and rocked over hitting the left wing tip on the runway." Post-crash examination of the aircraft revealed a crack in the lower left wing aft spar outboard, which required either replacement of the spar or a splice at the crack. During a post-crash ferry flight to nearby Portland International airport, the ATP rated ferry pilot encountered a locked right turn condition. Further examination revealed that the left control cable spring was not attached at the bellcrank behind the rear pilot seat. With the right control cable spring still attached and the left spring disconnected, the tailwheel would then favor a right turn condition regardless of the position of the rudder.
Probable Cause: The disconnection of the left tailwheel control cable spring resulting in the positioning of the tailwheel in a right turn condition.
