Narrative:

I was involved in a landing incident (by definition FAA regulation 803.2). I was landing on runway 26 at ftg. The AWOS reported winds of 310 degrees at 12 KTS when I was approximately 5 mi out from the airport. The active runway was being used by three other aircraft in the traffic pattern. On final approach I held a crab angle of 10-15 degrees. After touchdown and flap retraction, the plane veered right into the wind and continued right into a ground loop and side skid. Damage to the airplane consisted of left landing gear and left wingtip. Contributing factors were improper runway selection and failure to use correct control inputs in a timely manner, resulting in loss of control.
