Accident Narrative
The pilot of the Cessna 195 reported that he was initially assigned runway 36R, a 50-foot wide taxiway used as a runway during the annual Experimental Aircraft Association Fly-in. Due to gusty crosswind conditions and the wider width of runway 36L (150 feet), he requested and was cleared to land on 36L. On final approach to 36L, the pilot observed two white aircraft in the touchdown zone and informed the tower that he could not land due to the obstruction. The tower then cleared him to land on 36R.
During the flare to land on 36R, the tower instructed the pilot to extend his touchdown. He complied by adding power and flying approximately 2 feet above the runway surface. He then noticed a blue aircraft ahead on the same runway and decided to land quickly. While preoccupied with the traffic, he reduced power and touched down, but a wind gust lifted the right wing, causing the left wing and left elevator tips to contact the runway. The aircraft continued down the runway, exited to the right at about 20 mph, turned 180 degrees from the runway direction, and stopped in the grass.
Aircraft Examination
The pilot submitted a report from a repair facility indicating that the accident aircraft's landing gear was out of alignment in both toe and camber.
