Read the full NTSB narrative

The private pilot of the personal flight reported that during the landing touchdown, the airplane bounced slightly, and the right wing lifted. The stall warning came on as the pilot applied full right aileron into the crosswind. The airplane then yawed right, and the pilot applied full left rudder and started to initiate a go-around. The airplane then impacted terrain and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and wing struts. The pilot reported that there was no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
