The flight instructor of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, while demonstrating a wheel landing during an instructional flight with a student in the rear seat, the nose swerved to the right upon lowering the tailwheel. The pilot corrected with left rudder input, but the airplane ground looped to the right, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot stated that while landing, the airplane started diverting to the right. He corrected with full left rudder, but the airplane did not respond. He then applied full left brake, which caused an over correction. The airplane ground looped to the left, and the right lower wing contacted the runway, damaging the lower right wing spar. The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have precluded normal operations.
