The pilot landed to the southwest on a gravel airstrip with the wind from the southeast at 10 knots gusting to 15 knots. The pilot stated the airplane bounced during the landing and traveled to the right side of the airstrip. The airplane touched back down with the right main landing gear on the edge of the airstrip. The airplane continued to the right and traveled into a grain field adjacent to the airstrip. The airplane traveled about 100 feet into the field at which time the nose wheel dug into the ground and the airplane nosed over. The fuselage and wings were substantially damaged when the airplane nosed over. The pilot reported there was no mechanical failure/malfunction of the airplane.
