Analysis

The pilot reported that he was returning from a local area flight to land. A normal approach was flown with a 3 point touchdown on runway 25L. After touchdown the left wing lifted and the plane began to veer to the left. The pilot was not able to reestablish directional control and he initiated a go around. The airplane briefly became airborne before the right wing dropped and struck the ground and the airplane came to rest facing towards the East. According to the weather station located on the airport, the wind was reported as calm at the approximate time of the accident. However, during the time period from an hour before the accident to an hour after the accident wind conditions were reported as varying from 254 to 294 degrees with speeds of 7 to 9 knots.
