NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that during the landing he felt a wind gust that moved the airplane’s tail to the left, but was unsuccessful when applying a correctional input. The left wing impacted the ground then nosed over and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wing assembly. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
