THE ACFT DRAGGED A WING DURING LNDG ACCORDING TO THE PLTS STATEMENT. THE ACFT CAME TO REST BESIDE THE RWY. THE PLT SAID HE LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT DUE TO A FUEL IMBALANCE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT THE LEFT WING TIP TANK WAS FOUND FULL OF FUEL. ACCORDING TO THE ACFT MANUFACTURER THE ACFT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONTROLLABLE IF FULL FLAPS HAD NOT BEEN SELECTED FOR THE X-WIND LNDG OR IF THE ACFT HAD BEEN LANDED IN ANOTHER DIRECTION TO PUT THE X-WIND ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.
