Narrative:
During a demo flight in a for sale aircraft pilot bounced landing in crosswind conditions and the tail wheel airplane rotated approximately 90 degrees into the wind during the rollout and reached the side of the runway boundary breaking a runway light and puncturing a small hole in the aft fabric fuselage. Pilot's relatively low time in type and lack of crosswind experience on paved runway was a contributing factor.
