Narrative:
An approach for landing was made into wind and toward the upslope surface of a field. Power was maintained until the aircraft cleared a row of trees and a power line; then it was reduced. The aircraft settled rapidly and the stall warning sounded shortly before the impact. The pilot stated that the control column was fully back and the aircraft contacted the ground hard, apparently on the main wheels. The nose wheel then struck the ground hard and the aircraft overturned.
