That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N7757C's record changes.
The pilot of the tail wheel equipped airplane reported that, during the landing touchdown, with flaps extended, he heard the stall warning horn. Immediately following the touchdown, a gust of wind caused the airplane to balloon up about 10 ft and drift left. The pilot applied power to go-around, however the airplane continued to drift and subsequently collided with the ground.
The airplane sustained substantially damaged to the fuselage and both wings.
At the time of the accident the airplane was landing runway 16 with a crosswind from 250° at 16 knots, gusting to 28 knots.
The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot recommended less flaps and more airspeed when landing in a crosswind.
