NTSB Factual Report

The pilot landed the tailwheel-equipped airplane in variable wind conditions. During the landing roll he applied excessive brake in fear of a runway excursion, which resulted in the airplane nosing over and coming to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to its wings, left wing strut and rudder. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's excessive braking during the landing roll.
