Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The acft dragged a wing tip after encountered a gusty crosswind and aborted his takeoff. According to the plt, as the acft became airborne it seemed to be pushed down and he initiated a landing. The takeoff was aborted by reducing power and the acft touched down but a wing was lifted by the wind and the other wing tip hit the rwy. Full power was applied to straighten the roll. Substantial damage occurred to the wing and propeller.
