Approach and Landing
During the inbound phase to the airport, the winds were variable in direction at five knots or less. While on final approach for a full-stop landing, the pilot encountered mild thermal turbulence. The flare and touchdown were uneventful.
Loss of Directional Control
During the landing roll, the airplane encountered a gusting crosswind. The pilot was unable to maintain directional control. After the loss of control, the right wing tip impacted the runway surface.
Damage
The impact bent the most outboard one foot of the right aileron down approximately 45 degrees and aft approximately 30 degrees.
Inspection
Post-accident inspection of the aircraft found no anomalies in the flight control or tail wheel steering systems.
