Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot's improper flare with a crosswind condition, and unsuccessful attempt to correct a bounced landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent nose over.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that during the landing with a quartering crosswind of 6-9 knots, the airplane bounced and touched down again with a side load. The pilot attempted to correct but the airplane exited the runway and traveled down a slight incline, coming to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the rudder, and vertical stabilizer. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
