Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the landing roll, the airplane drifted to the right and exited the runway. Upon exiting the runway, the right wing contacted soybean plants, the airplane ground looped and the left wing impacted the ground, which resulted in substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
