The aircraft was landing on a dirt strip with a 6 to 7 knot crosswind when a gust of wind blew the aircraft to the right side of the strip. As the aircraft touched down, the right main wheel sunk on soft dirt which damaged the undercarriage. The pilot tried to steer plane to the left and as the plane came to rest, it tilted forward and the right wingtip hit the ground.
