Narrative:

I had been practicing crosswind lndgs on runway 27. While during the round-out a strong gust of wind lifted the left wing causing the right wing to strike the ground. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: damage to aircraft was minor with no FAA investigatory follow up. Winds were approximately 90 degrees to left of runway and gusting. Reporter had private pilot examination within 8 days of the incident and practiced heavily on crosswind lndgs. Reporter says she had learned to be more aggressive with the rudders and had practiced with tail wheel aircraft. The FAA examination was passed and the examiner even complimented her on the crosswind lndgs.
