What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Set up for tail wheel landing, taking crosswind into account (cross wind was described as shifting from the south at 8 KTS). The aircraft touched down, 60 KTS and bounced two times as a 3 point landing, the aircraft then settled to the left side of the runway. Pulling to the left hard, the pilot applied RH rudder to compensate. The aircraft continued off the edge of the runway into the grass where the right wing tip and horizontal stabilzer contacted the ground.
