Analysis
The plt indicated that 15 minutes had been flown on the full fuel tank prior to the accident flight. The plt departed at 1330 on a siteseeing flt around the local area. After 3.7 hrs of flight, while on final approach to rwy 34, the engine quit. The plt decided that he could not clear the trees at the approach end of the rwy, so he executed and emergency landing in a cranberry field. On touchdown a gust of wind flipped the aircraft inverted.
