Incident Overview
While departing from a private airstrip, the pilot took off to the north in calm winds. Upon returning to land, the wind had shifted to blowing from the southwest at 20 knots. The pilot elected to land toward the south.
Obstacle and Maneuver
A truck was parked at the approach end of the strip, requiring the pilot to maneuver around it prior to touchdown. As the pilot banked the aircraft to the left to align it with the runway, the left wing struck a clump of grass.
Outcome and Damage
The aircraft ground-looped to a stop. The accident resulted in damage to both wings, the fuselage, and the engine mounts. The pilot held a medical waiver for vision after one eye had been surgically removed.
