THE GLIDER PILOT STATED, '...I NOTICED A SMALL PLANE MOVING DOWN RUNWAY 31. I WAS INTENDING TO LAND ON 13....I LANDED IN THE HIGH GRASS WEST OF THE RUNWAY, ABOUT 10 FEET FROM THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY....NOT WANTING TO ROLL ACROSS THE RUNWAY INTO THE POWERLINES, DITCH, OR ROAD, I APPLIED FULL RIGHT RUDDER AND DEPLOYED MY SPOILERS. I HADN'T NOTICED THAT MY RIGHT WING HAD NOT YET CLEARED THE HIGH GRASS....MY WINGTIP DIPPED, CAUGHT IN GROUND AND DAMAGED GLIDER. THE SOLE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE GLIDER WAS THE GROUND LOOP INSTIGATED BY MY APPLYING RUDDER WHILE WING WAS STILL IN GRASS...' ADDITIONALLY, THE STUDENT PILOT HAD A TOTAL TIME OF ABOUT 18 HOURS, OF WHICH 1 HOUR WAS SOLO TIME.
Probable Cause: the pilot's improper flight control input during the landing roll in high grass, which resulted in a ground loop and subsequent wingtip damage.
