Narrative:
While landing, and shortly after touchdown, a gust of wind raised the right wing and tipped the plane high enough to cause the propeller to touch the ground. The wind was 40-50 degrees to the left of the runway reported at 17 KTS. I believe the cause was: had control wheel to left to counter the wind. I may have carried a little too much power causing the plane to turn somewhat left and a gust caught the right wing. Both tips of propeller bent. Plane uprighted and taxied in. No injuries or other known damage.
