Weather
I was flying solo in an experimental aircraft and just as I was touching the ground on landing experience a wind gust from the right side. I ran out of right rudder and the plane tipped onto the the left wing tip starting a ground loop at approximately 15 mph ground speed. The tail spun around; a prop-strike occurred; then a tail-strike. I climbed out of the aircraft after shutting everything off and was uninjured. The airplane sustained some damage to the empennage and a propeller. No property damage or harm to any person occurred.
Pilot of an experimental aircraft reported a wind gust spun the aircraft out of control causing a prop and tail strike.
