Narrative:
The pilot reported that while landing from an introductory flight of his recently purchased airplane, the airplane bounced, and then when touching down again, immediately veered right. The airplane departed the right side of the runway into the grass, subsequently nosed over, and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer, rudder, and the left wing strut. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing on runway 14 with wind calm. The pilot reported that he had not previously landed the make and model of the accident airplane.


Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control on landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent nose-over. Contributing was the pilot's lack of experience in the accident airplane.
