Narrative:
The pilot was back taxiing for departure on Runway 18 (2700 feet by 60 feet, dry/asphalt.

The pilot applied full left rudder and the aircraft nosed over and came to rest in an inverted attitude. A weather report, for a reporting station located 25 miles and 28 degrees magnetic from the accident site, reported winds from 100 degrees magnetic at 16 knots gusting to 23 knots.
