## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON 07/07/2013 N94C A LUY WAYMAN KIT AIRCRAFT ( AC-102) LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO COLLIDE WITH A  TREE.  AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT THE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING HIS SECOND LANDING  AFTER HE HAD MADE A GO AROUND DUE TO HIGH CROSSWINDS. ON THE SECOND LANDING THE MAIN GEAR OF THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN  WHEN A SUDDEN GUST OF WIND LIFTED THE LEFT WING UP CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO PIVOT AROUND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TURNING THE AIRCRAFT 50 DEGREES  OFF THE CENTER OF THE RUNWAY. AT THIS TIME THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A GO AROUND. THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO SLOWLY CLIMB , BUT DUE TO THE STEEP CLIMB AND NO LONGER BEING LINED UP WITH THE RUNWAY , THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO SEE A 45 FT OAK TREE IN ITS PATH  AND COLLIDED WITH THE TREE.  THE PILOT ONBOARD THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES AND THE PASSENGER MINOR INJURIES.
