The pilot reported that during landing roll, the airplane began to move to the left, which he applied corrective control inputs to maneuver the airplane to the right. The pilot stated that as the airplane began to move to the right, it began to feel as if it was going to swing around. Subsequently, the left wing tip stuck the runway surface and the airplane swung about 270°, before it settled onto the right main landing gear, which collapsed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing, and both ailerons. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing on runway 22 with calm wind.
The pilot reported no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
- Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing roll.
