Analysis
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that during the landing flare, the airplane encountered a gust of wind and landed past the midfield mark. The pilot believed he was unable to perform a go-around due to the rising terrain and trees beyond the departure end of the runway and applied heavy braking to come to a stop. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted about 150-175 ft from the end of the runway, sustaining substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and vertical stabilizer. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing on runway 16, with wind light and variable.
