Analysis
The plt rprtd he started to depart from rwy 13 with the wind from the south at 15 gusting 25 KTS. He stated the acft was not climbing as expected so he elected to land on the remaining rwy. He stated the wind gusts were strong from the right rear. He said he throttled back somewhat after lowering the nose & proceeded to glide back to the surface, but the acft drifted to the left of the rwy. Subsequently, it struck the ground right wing 1st, turning the acft to the right. The right main gear touched down next, followed by the left main & nose gear. The acft then skidded about 20' to a stop with damage to the wing tips, eng mounts, prop, fuselage, horizontal stabilizer & gear.
