UPON RETURNING TO LEE ARPT, EDGEWATER, MD, FROM A X-COUNTRY FLT TO LANCASTER, PA, THE STUDENT PLT APPLIED FULL FLAPS DURING THE FINAL APCH FOR RWY 12. DURING THE LANDING FLARE, THE ACFT BALLOONED AND THE PLT APPLIED FULL PWR IN ORDER TO EXECUTE A GO-AROUND. ACCORDING TO THE PLT AFTER THE ACCIDENT, HE FAILED TO REDUCE PITCH IN TIME TO PREVENT A STALL, AND THE ACFT DROPPED TO THE RWY, CONTACTING THE MAIN GEAR FIRST. THE ACFT THEN SWERVED TO THE LEFT OF THE RWY INTO A FRESHLY PLOWED FLD AND FLIPPED OVER, COMING TO REST INVERTED.
