Analysis
The plt was practicing touch-&-go landings & lost control of the acft. It swerved to the left onto soft terrain & went over on its nose. At 1st, the plt made comments about improper strut inflation. However, later, he reported that wx was not a problem & that he was just not as qualified as he had thought.
