Analysis
The plt lost directional control of the aircraft during landing rollout with a crosswind. The aircraft drifted to the left of the runway at which time the plt applied full aft elevator, full right rudder and full right aileron. The plt reported the acft made no response to the control inputs so full power was added and flaps were retracted to zero. Control of the acft was regained; however, it had already contacted bushes along the side of the rwy.
