NTSB Factual Report

The private pilot had just departed in his tail wheel equipped airplane from a 6,000-foot-long asphalt runway, and was attempting to land back on the runway. The airplane subsequently bounced and the pilot reduced power and tried to make a three-point landing, but the airplane was not properly aligned with the runway. The airplane then veered off the runway, ground-looped and flipped inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer and left wing. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane or engine.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing.
