Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that, while landing in gusting crosswind conditions, he flared the airplane "too much," and the nose pitched up. Subsequently, the airplane porpoised on the runway, veered left, exited the runway, and nosed down. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mount and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
