The pilot reported that, during the takeoff roll in the tailwheel-equipped airplane, with the tailwheel raised, a gust of wind from the right lifted the right wing. The pilot over corrected with right aileron control, and the right wing and horizontal stabilizer contacted the runway surface. The airplane subsequently veered off the runway to the left and came to a stop.
A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the right wing and empennage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The automated weather observation system located on the airport reported, about 13 minutes before the accident, the wind was from 220° at 10 knots, gusting to 20 knots. About 13 minutes after the accident, the wind was from 200° at 8 knots, gusting to 19 knots. The pilot landed on runway 22.
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that during the landing roll, the airplane began to drift left.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the horizontal stabilizer, right elevator, right wing and right aileron. The pilot reported there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane prior to or during flight that would have precluded normal operation.
