Read the full NTSB narrative

During the initial tailwheel and refresher flight training, the left seat owner/pilot lost control of the airplane on the landing roll. The subsequent delayed remedial action by the right seat instructor pilot resulted in the airplane ground looping, causing substantial damage to the airplane.
