Read the full NTSB narrative
The private certificated pilot landed on runway 30 in a tailwheel-equipped airplane. The wind conditions were 297 degrees at 14 knots with gusts to 19 knots. When the pilot began a turn to taxi from landing, he reported that a quartering tailwind caused the airplane to ground loop off the east side of the runway, and the right main landing gear struck a tree stump. After the accident, the pilot examined the airplane and found two broken lower fuselage longerons, located between the tailwheel and the trailing edges of the wings.
