That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N917CP's record changes.
According to the pilot, during the taxi from the runway to parking, he made a left turn into his parking space. He reported that he had parked at this location many times before, and that his main concern at the time, was to ensure that he did not run over the rope tie downs on the parking space. During the left turn, although the main landing gear remained on the asphalt, the right wing extended beyond the asphalt, and into the grass area where the right wing struck a light pole. The light pole had been erected about 45 days prior, and was positioned in the grass, about 5 feet away from the asphalt. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing spar.
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane that would have prevented normal flight operations.
