Probable cause
The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind and his failure to maintain directional control. A related factor was the crosswind.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated he landed on runway 27, and was not moving very fast when he started to turn left off the runway onto the closed runway. The airplane continued turning left and the right wing and right horizontal stabilizer went down and contacted the runway. The right brake became spongy and weak in the left turn and would not hold causing the continued left turn. The airplane came to rest facing north. The pilot further stated that he had not had any problems with the brakes recently and that there was no recent repairs to the brakes. He stated that when he taxied the airplane from the accident site to the repair hangar, the brakes operated normally. Post accident examination by NTSB and FAA of the right main landing gear brake showed no evidence of failure or malfunction of the brake. At the time of the accident, the wind was from 360 degrees at 10 knots.
