Probable cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain direction control during the landing roll.
NTSB analysis
The pilot reported that during the landing roll the airplane veered left, and he was unable to correct before the airplane impacted a tree, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
