AFTER TAIL WHEEL CONTACTED THE RWY SURFACE THE AC PROCEEDED TO DRIFTED TO THE LEFT.  THE PIC CORRECTED DIRFT WITH FULL AILERON INTO THE WIND AND FULL RIGHT RUDDER.

THE SIDE LOAD CAUSED THE GEAR TO COLLAPSE.  THE PROPELLOR BLADES WERE BENT BACKWARDS AT 90 DEGREE ANGLES 6 INCHES FROM THE TIPS.  THE AC WAS OTHERWISE UNDAMAGED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
