Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot was landing on a 2,200-foot-long, 110-foot-wide, turf runway. During the landing roll, the airplane drifted right and encountered uneven terrain, which elevated the tailwheel. As the pilot applied the brakes, the airplane nosed over and came to rest on the runway.
