## Narrative

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

IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT, THE PILOT DESCRIBED PERFORMING A WHEEL LANDING ON THE MAIN GEAR ON RUNWAY 02. AS THE AIRSPEED DECREASED, HE LOWERED THE TAILWHEEL, AND UPON ITS CONTACT WITH THE GROUND, HE FELT THE LEFT WING BEGIN TO DIP. HE ATTEMPTED A RIGHT AILERON CORRECTION BUT WAS UNABLE TO MAKE SUFFICIENT ADJUSTMENT. THE LEFT WING MADE CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY, PROMPTING HIM TO IMMEDIATELY APPLY FULL POWER AND ATTEMPT A GO-AROUND BY LIFTING THE TAIL OFF THE GROUND. HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO LIFT THE TAILWHEEL OR LEFT WING IN TIME, RESULTING IN THE AIRCRAFT VEERING OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE LEFT GEAR ASSEMBLY ENCOUNTERED ROUGH TERRAIN, ABRUPTLY SLOWING THE AIRCRAFT AND CAUSING IT TO FLIP OVER AND LAND UPSIDE DOWN. A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED DAMAGE, INCLUDING A BROKEN LOWER LEFT WING, A BENT LEFT MAIN GEAR ASSEMBLY, AND A BENT RUDDER. SIGNATURES FROM THE PROPELLER AND THE PILOT'S STATEMENT CONFIRMED THAT BOTH THE AIRCRAFT AND ENGINE WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
