The pilot stated that after takeoff, the flight proceeded to the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport where he landed uneventfully, secured the airplane, and purchased fuel. The flight departed approximately 1200 to return, and entered the traffic pattern for runway 28, with a wind from 340 degrees at 8 knots with gusts to 12 knots. While on final approach he slipped the airplane to lose altitude, and touched down 600-700 feet down the runway at 42 to 44 knots. The airplane became airborne, the right wing raised, and the airplane drifted to the left. He applied right aileron and left rudder input to maintain runway centerline, added slight power, and released slight amount of back pressure on the yoke. The airplane touched down again on the main landing gears about 400 feet beyond the first touchdown point and rolled approximately 50-100 feet at which time the airplane nosed over. He further stated there was no problem with the brakes or flight controls of the airplane.
Probable Cause: The failure of the pilot to maintain control of the airplane resulting in it nosing over during the landing roll.
