NTSB Factual Report

The pilot was landing the tailwheel-equipped airplane on a dry, asphalt runway. During the landing with an anticipated left crosswind, the wind shifted and the airplane bounced on landing. The airplane drifted to the left side of the runway, and when it touched down again, the pilot applied brakes and the airplane nosed over. The left wing and vertical stabilizer were substantially damaged. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate flare and loss of directional control during landing.
