That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N1060E's record changes.
The student pilot stated that he had performed two landings in the tailwheel-equipped airplane, then elected to perform a full stop landing. During approach for the third landing, he applied left aileron and right rudder control inputs to correct for a left crosswind; however, after touchdown in a three-point landing, the airplane veered left. He attempted to maintain directional control with the rudder, but the airplane continued to the left and departed the runway. He applied the brakes, but the airplane collided with trees and bushes resulting in substantial damage to the right wing. The student pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that could have precluded normal operation.
