Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that while practicing landings the airplane touched down and veered to the right. He attempted to correct the movement with control inputs, but was unsuccessful. As the airplane approached the right runway edge, the pilot considered applying power, but the propeller contacted the ground, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left lower wing, vertical stabilizer and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
