Narrative:
At approximately 10 mi out, while communicating with fmy approach, I received page field ATIS. ATIS reported visibility of 8 mi and winds of 360 degrees at 8 KTS. Approach handed me off to the tower approximately 6 mi out. The tower asked me to join a 2 mi right base for runway 5. I reported at 2 mi out on a right base. The tower then cleared me for landing. I informed tower that I would be doing a touch and go with a north departure. Tower acknowledged. At about 1/2 mi out I began to position the aircraft for landing with a left crosswind, noticing that the air very turbulent. At about 1/4 mi out on G/south, I reached my approach speed of 80 mph and extended full flaps. I noticed that I was being blown right of course more than I expected. I increased my crab to compensate for the wind. Just over the threshold I was over the center of the runway and reconfigured to a forward slip. A gust of wind took my right of center. I returned the aircraft to the center of the runway. Still in a slight crab, I touched down with the main approximately 800' down the runway at approximately 70 mph. I straightened the aircraft before letting the nose touch. When all 3 wheels were on the ground, I had a difficult time holding the aircraft center. The aircraft then began to pull right.I trued to compensate with left rudder. I then felt the left wing and tail begin to lift. The right wing tip hit and scraped along the ground followed by the propeller tip. The aircraft then came to a stop just on the left side of the runway. I shut down all electrical, raised the flaps and got out. I spoke with several ground sources who informed me that the winds were really 320 degrees at 15 KTS, which may have been a contributing factor.

Title: STUDENT PLT ON LNDG LOST CTL OF ACFT AND HIT RIGHT WING TIP AND PROPELLER. ACFT DAMAGED.
Narrative: AT APPROX 10 MI OUT, WHILE COMMUNICATING WITH FMY APCH, I RECEIVED PAGE FIELD ATIS. ATIS RPTED VISIBILITY OF 8 MI AND WINDS OF 360 DEGS AT 8 KTS. APCH HANDED ME OFF TO THE TWR APPROX 6 MI OUT. THE TWR ASKED ME TO JOIN A 2 MI RIGHT BASE FOR RWY 5. I RPTED AT 2 MI OUT ON A RIGHT BASE. THE TWR THEN CLRED ME FOR LNDG. I INFORMED TWR THAT I WOULD BE DOING A TOUCH AND GO WITH A N DEP. TWR ACKNOWLEDGED. AT ABOUT 1/2 MI OUT I BEGAN TO POS THE ACFT FOR LNDG WITH A LEFT XWIND, NOTICING THAT THE AIR VERY TURBULENT. AT ABOUT 1/4 MI OUT ON G/S, I REACHED MY APCH SPD OF 80 MPH AND EXTENDED FULL FLAPS. I NOTICED THAT I WAS BEING BLOWN RIGHT OF COURSE MORE THAN I EXPECTED. I INCREASED MY CRAB TO COMPENSATE FOR THE WIND. JUST OVER THE THRESHOLD I WAS OVER THE CENTER OF THE RWY AND RECONFIGURED TO A FORWARD SLIP. A GUST OF WIND TOOK MY RIGHT OF CENTER. I RETURNED THE ACFT TO THE CENTER OF THE RWY. STILL IN A SLIGHT CRAB, I TOUCHED DOWN WITH THE MAIN APPROX 800' DOWN THE RWY AT APPROX 70 MPH. I STRAIGHTENED THE ACFT BEFORE LETTING THE NOSE TOUCH. WHEN ALL 3 WHEELS WERE ON THE GND, I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME HOLDING THE ACFT CENTER. THE ACFT THEN BEGAN TO PULL RIGHT.I TRUED TO COMPENSATE WITH LEFT RUDDER. I THEN FELT THE LEFT WING AND TAIL BEGIN TO LIFT. THE RIGHT WING TIP HIT AND SCRAPED ALONG THE GND FOLLOWED BY THE PROP TIP. THE ACFT THEN CAME TO A STOP JUST ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY. I SHUT DOWN ALL ELECTRICAL, RAISED THE FLAPS AND GOT OUT. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL GND SOURCES WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE WINDS WERE REALLY 320 DEGS AT 15 KTS, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
