Narrative:

I gathered the WX and planned a standard VFR cross country. Princeton reported winds aloft at 200 degrees at 18 KTS. Arrived at hayward, wi, 10 mins late and called 10 mi south for advisories. Local briefer reported altimeter, and winds at 6 KTS, but a crosswind to the runway 200 degrees. On final approach used normal setup 63 KTS. I corrected for crosswind by using opposite aileron. Upon touchdown, felt fast jolts of turbulence. On flair, to my knowledge, I think a slight change in wind to a quartering tailwind caused right wing to lift forcing left wing to the ground and the propeller to strike the ground. After talking with local briefer he reported that other pilots using the same runway had experienced windshear. I then concluded this was the reason for the incident. If windshear reports would have been advised to me, I would have used an alternate airport.

Title: C152 PLT CONTACTS GND WITH WINGTIP AND PROP ON LNDG AT HYR, WI.

Narrative: I GATHERED THE WX AND PLANNED A STANDARD VFR XCOUNTRY. PRINCETON RPTED WINDS ALOFT AT 200 DEGS AT 18 KTS. ARRIVED AT HAYWARD, WI, 10 MINS LATE AND CALLED 10 MI S FOR ADVISORIES. LCL BRIEFER RPTED ALTIMETER, AND WINDS AT 6 KTS, BUT A XWIND TO THE RWY 200 DEGS. ON FINAL APCH USED NORMAL SETUP 63 KTS. I CORRECTED FOR XWIND BY USING OPPOSITE AILERON. UPON TOUCHDOWN, FELT FAST JOLTS OF TURB. ON FLAIR, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I THINK A SLIGHT CHANGE IN WIND TO A QUARTERING TAILWIND CAUSED R WING TO LIFT FORCING L WING TO THE GND AND THE PROP TO STRIKE THE GND. AFTER TALKING WITH LCL BRIEFER HE RPTED THAT OTHER PLTS USING THE SAME RWY HAD EXPERIENCED WINDSHEAR. I THEN CONCLUDED THIS WAS THE REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. IF WINDSHEAR RPTS WOULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO ME, I WOULD HAVE USED AN ALTERNATE ARPT.
