Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot departed from a local airport for a 15 minute flight to a sod strip on his farm. After touchdown, the pilot decided he was traveling 'too fast' to complete a safe landing and applied power to clear a fence. The airplane struck the fence, and separated the nose wheel after landing in a field beyond the departure end of the strip. The airplane then nosed over and came to rest inverted.
