Analysis
The pilot reported that while he and a passenger were on a local flight, he elected to look at a local grass strip near el capitan lake. He made several low passes and then touched down momentarily on a touch and go landing. After that, he felt the surface would be satisfactory for a full stop landing. During the landing, he touched down in a 3-point attitude and held the elevator control full aft. However, just prior to stopping, the main gear dug into soft terrain and the plane flipped over.
