Narrative:

After a normal approach, and a normal 3 point landing in a high wing small aircraft and as the aircraft was rolling out, it entered a left turn and in spite of full right rudder and application of right brake, it exited runway 30, and as it left the hard surface and on to the grass, the right main gear dug into the grass and stopped in a 90 degree angle to the active runway and the right wing tip contacted the ground doing damage to the right wing tip and right main gear. It seemed as though the tail wheel was causing the aircraft to keep turning to the left in spite of full right rudder and application of right brake, which I thought would stop the turn, as it normally has in previous similar circumstances. Considering the slow speed at the time the turn occurred. A ground loop occurred, as a result. I feel application of full power and lifting of the tail may have stopped the ground loop before it happened, but I felt the relatively slow speed on rollout as the turn occurred, didn't justify doing so, as it also may have created other problems.

Title: LOSS OF ACFT CTL DURING LNDG PROC XWIND LNDG ROLLOUT.

Narrative: AFTER A NORMAL APCH, AND A NORMAL 3 POINT LNDG IN A HIGH WING SMA AND AS THE ACFT WAS ROLLING OUT, IT ENTERED A L TURN AND IN SPITE OF FULL R RUDDER AND APPLICATION OF R BRAKE, IT EXITED RWY 30, AND AS IT LEFT THE HARD SURFACE AND ON TO THE GRASS, THE R MAIN GEAR DUG INTO THE GRASS AND STOPPED IN A 90 DEG ANGLE TO THE ACTIVE RWY AND THE R WING TIP CONTACTED THE GND DOING DAMAGE TO THE R WING TIP AND R MAIN GEAR. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE TAIL WHEEL WAS CAUSING THE ACFT TO KEEP TURNING TO THE L IN SPITE OF FULL R RUDDER AND APPLICATION OF R BRAKE, WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD STOP THE TURN, AS IT NORMALLY HAS IN PREVIOUS SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. CONSIDERING THE SLOW SPD AT THE TIME THE TURN OCCURRED. A GND LOOP OCCURRED, AS A RESULT. I FEEL APPLICATION OF FULL PWR AND LIFTING OF THE TAIL MAY HAVE STOPPED THE GND LOOP BEFORE IT HAPPENED, BUT I FELT THE RELATIVELY SLOW SPD ON ROLLOUT AS THE TURN OCCURRED, DIDN'T JUSTIFY DOING SO, AS IT ALSO MAY HAVE CREATED OTHER PROBLEMS.
