Narrative:

I was making a landing at the tus airport. I was instructed to land on runway 11R. The winds were 20 KTS gusting to 31 KTS. I made 2 tries and on the third time I thought I was down. When a gust took me off the right side of the runway and my propeller tips struck a small sign. No other damage.
