Analysis narrative
The pilot reported that, while landing, the airplane touched down and ground looped. During the ground loop, the right wing and horizontal stabilizer struck the ground. The airplane subsequently went nose down and came to rest back upright, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing and horizontal stabilizer. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing the airplane on runway 13 with wind from 110° at 11 knots. The pilot did not submit the National Transportation Safety Board Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report Form 6120.1.
