Read the full NTSB narrative
The winds were calm as the pilot made a three point landing on runway 06. He held full aft elevator as the airplane rolled out, but then it veered left off the side of the runway and into the grass. The pilot added power but the airplane ground looped and nosed down. The pilot said that when he took off from the departure airport, the contents of his flight bag spilled onto the rear floor. He surmised that some of the items may have interfered with the flight controls.
