Narrative:
Having completed landing on runway 22 and arriving to a full stop (on a-o-windsock indication), I proceeded to exit runway from right center with taxiway forward right at approximately 40 meters. I was stowing flaps in up position and was momentarily in head lowered position. On looking up, discovered that the aircraft was rotating to the left rapidly and was not responsive to full right input on the pedal. I tried to not use the brake and felt that rapid power application would only make the condition worse. The left wing started lifting and as I looked out the right side, the right wing was dropping and I sensed the right gear sliding to the right. I then applied both brakes to try to kill the momentum to prevent an upset, whereupon the right gear buckled under and the right wingtip contacted the runway. The propeller sustained total buckling on 1 tip. In mitigation, I can only report that during removal of the plane from the runway a very strong gust from the left quarter on runway 22 caused all 4 of the people removing the plane to struggle for control. It lasted about 5-7 seconds and then was dead still again, with the sock hanging flat.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN SMA PLT LOST CTL OF THE ACFT CLRING RWY AFTER LNDG.
Narrative: HAVING COMPLETED LNDG ON RWY 22 AND ARRIVING TO A FULL STOP (ON A-O-WINDSOCK INDICATION), I PROCEEDED TO EXIT RWY FROM R CTR WITH TXWY FORWARD R AT APPROX 40 METERS. I WAS STOWING FLAPS IN UP POS AND WAS MOMENTARILY IN HEAD LOWERED POS. ON LOOKING UP, DISCOVERED THAT THE ACFT WAS ROTATING TO THE L RAPIDLY AND WAS NOT RESPONSIVE TO FULL R INPUT ON THE PEDAL. I TRIED TO NOT USE THE BRAKE AND FELT THAT RAPID PWR APPLICATION WOULD ONLY MAKE THE CONDITION WORSE. THE L WING STARTED LIFTING AND AS I LOOKED OUT THE R SIDE, THE R WING WAS DROPPING AND I SENSED THE R GEAR SLIDING TO THE R. I THEN APPLIED BOTH BRAKES TO TRY TO KILL THE MOMENTUM TO PREVENT AN UPSET, WHEREUPON THE R GEAR BUCKLED UNDER AND THE R WINGTIP CONTACTED THE RWY. THE PROP SUSTAINED TOTAL BUCKLING ON 1 TIP. IN MITIGATION, I CAN ONLY RPT THAT DURING REMOVAL OF THE PLANE FROM THE RWY A VERY STRONG GUST FROM THE L QUARTER ON RWY 22 CAUSED ALL 4 OF THE PEOPLE REMOVING THE PLANE TO STRUGGLE FOR CTL. IT LASTED ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS AND THEN WAS DEAD STILL AGAIN, WITH THE SOCK HANGING FLAT.
