Analysis
The pilot was practicing stop and go landings in his tailwheel equipped airplane. During the last landing he said the tail bounced to the right, and he did not respond aggressively enough to prevent the airplane from ground-looping. The airplane dragged the right wing on the runway, structurally damaging the wing.
