Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot in the tail wheel equipped airplane reported that, the landing was “routine,” but he lost control during the landing roll due to “inattention” while raising the flaps. The airplane then ground looped to the left, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
