That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N840T's record changes.
The pilot reported executing a wheel landing in the tailwheel-equipped airplane. A “small bounce” after touch down caused the airplane to veer “slightly to the right.” The pilot subsequently over corrected and lost directional control resulting in a ground loop. The right wing was substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. He noted being ready with “slight and occasional” rudder inputs would likely have been more effective than the “strong and consistent” rudder pressure applied.
