Analysis
The plt was on a flt to Oshkosh to an eaa convention. When he arrived, traffic was hvy & special traffic procedures were in effect. Info to attendees (before the convention) advertised that the north/south rwys would be used primarily for display acft & the east/west rwys would be in use primarily for itinerant acft; however, there was no restriction on rwy use. Due to hvy traffic, twr psnl did not routinely offer wind info & alternate rwy use; however, if requested, these would have been provided. Drg arrival, the plt expected to use the north/south rwy & obtained wind information from the ATIS. He realized there would be a 12 kt x-wind, but did not believe this would be a problem. He rprtd that drg arrival, he turned onto a short final apch for rwy 18 & compensated for a strong x-wind by lowering the right wing. He stated that about 10' abv the rwy, the acft entered a rapid dscnt & landed hard, breaking the structure for the rgt gear (which was also the rgt canard) & damaged the prop.
