Incident Description
A pilot provided a detailed account of a landing incident. According to the pilot, after touchdown, the right wing lifted, pulling the airplane to the left. In response, the pilot applied right aileron and full power, but was unable to lower the right wing. The pilot then reduced power and attempted to steer the airplane out of the skid. As the skid increased, the right wing came down and made contact with the ground as the airplane came to a stop.
Post-Event Examination
Following the incident, an examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies in the flight controls or other airplane systems.
