Pilots statement
A pleasure flight to a back country strip near grapevine spring, Gold Butte, NV, about 25 miles. Airstrip elevation 4300', length 1000' x 50'. Winds were light from the south at departure.
Upon arrival I made a low pass then set up my approach touch down was uneventful. On the roll out a crosswind pushed me to the left, I applied right rudder to no effect, I started a go around the plane lifted off but could climb fast enough to get above the trees I turned to the right, the plane stalled and the right wing touch the ground causing the plane to spin around hitting the nose and left wing.
