The pilot was able to maintain a stabilized approach during the second landing. The pilot reported that after touchdown the airplane was struck by a gust of wind. The right wing dipped down, the nose pitched forward, and the propeller struck the runway. The airplane veered off the runway and came to rest inverted. Tower personnel reported winds from 040 degrees at 22 knots, gusting to 30 knots, at the time of the accident.
