What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot in command and only occupant of this aerobatic bi-wing airplane stated that he had completed aerobatic flight in the aerobatic box adjacent to runway 1/19 at kmvl. Pilot stated he entered the traffic pattern and landed on runway 1 with calm winds. Pilot stated that landing was normal at about the 1500 feet of roll out the aircraft started drifting to the right, pilot corrected with left rudder and brake. Pilot stated the aircraft tipped to the left scraping the left lower wing tip and continued off the runway. Due to hard braking to avoid a three (3) foot drainage ditch parallel to the runway, the aircraft tipped up onto its nose and the prop stopped after contact with the grass surface. There were no injuries.
