Analysis
The plt reported that during arrival, he started to land with a right crosswind at 15 gusting 22 KTS. He stated that the acft was very low over the runway when a gust of wind blew it over a plowed area adjacent to the runway. He applied full power, raised the flaps & secured the carburetor heat in an attempt to go around. The acft impacted on the side of the runway, damaging the nosewheel, propeller & both wings. The plt reported that a cruise propeller was installed on the aircraft, which may have degraded the go-around performance.
