Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated, the approach for the full stop landing was uneventful. On final, about 10 feet above the ground, with engine power reduced and the airplane in a landing configuration, a gust of wind from the left blew the airplane to the right. The right main tire touched down hard followed by the left main tire. As the airplane bounced down the runway, he attempted a go-around. He added full engine power, and pitched the airplane's nose up. The left wing hit the ground and the airplane flipped over coming to a stop upside-down. The pilot stated there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions to the airplane or any of its systems prior to the accident.
