Probable cause
The pilot’s loss of airplane control while landing with a gusting wind.
NTSB analysis
The pilot stated that he was on approach to landing when the airplane encountered a gust of wind. The airplane stalled, descended 15 feet, and collided with the ground, touching down on the nose gear first. The nosewheel, left main landing gear, and left flap were torn off; there were wrinkles in both wings and on the left rear side of the fuselage. The pilot reported no preimpact anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
