Narrative:

2 persons on board. Both qualified in aircraft. I was PIC, ms. X. Ms. X at the controls as pilot. I was occupying right seat as copilot. Departed san antonio international on IFR flight plan to ardmore, ok. Approaching ft worth, tx, elected to land at meacham field due to deteriorating WX conditions ahead. Cleared for visibility approach to runway 16L. Approach was normal. Upon T/D with right crosswind of 10 KTS a gust caused the aircraft to yaw slightly to the right with the right wind already low to compensate for the crosswind. The aircraft was immediately straightened with the runway and landing completed. Apparently the right propeller contacted the runway because upon engine shutdown it was noted that the right propeller tips were damaged. Crosswind contributed, maybe slight over-controling.
