According to the pilot, he had been conducting touch-and-go landings. During the third landing the airplane veered to the right during the landing roll. According to the pilot the airplane drifted approximately 75 feet. Efforts by the pilot to correct the right drift of the airplane failed. The airplane veered off the right side of the runway into a ditch. Examination of the airplane revealed that the left wing had spar damage. The post-accident examination of the airplane revealed the left rudder cable was not attached to the butterfly ring on the tail wheel. The spring clip that connects the rudder cable to the butterfly ring was found approximately 20 feet from where the airplane touched down on the runway. The pilot stated that the main landing gear wheel braking system was operational.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing roll which resulted in a loss of control and collision with a ditch. A factor was separation of the spring clip from the landing gear steering system.
