Aircraft involved
Probable cause & findings
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
Factual narrative
The pilot reported that, while landing, when the tailwheel touched down, the airplane began to veer left. The pilot attempted to correct the veer and applied brakes; however, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing strut. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
