Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain control during the landing flare.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that the airplane stalled while in the landing flare. He added power to attempt a go-around, but the airplane yawed to the left and the left wing dropped. The airplane nosed over into the grass, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
