Narrative:

I ground looped husky damaging the tailwheel assembly and right wing tip as a result of losing directional control. According to NTSB 830; 'bent fairings or cowling; dented skin; small punctured holes in the sin or fabric; ground damage to rotor or propeller blades and damage to landing gear; wheels; tires; flaps;engine accessories; brakes or wing tips are not considered 'substantial damage' for the purpose of this part.our family used to own a husky and I have around 200 hours in type. This aircraft differed however in having large bush wheels installed which I had never landed on tarmac before. When we landed we lost directional control at a low speed turning left even with full right pedal depressed. I am not certain if the tail wheel failed prior to or after losing directional control.the lack of recent experience; different handling qualities of the wheels installed and potential failure of the tail wheel as we touched down are likely the cause of this incident.
