The pilot attempted to land on runway 31 with high and gusting winds. According to the pilot during final approach he attempted a go-around and, "... the turbulence became extreme and I reduced power to reduce airspeed and stress on the airframe. Unfortunately, I reduced airspeed to just above stall speed and in the next gust the plane stalled." The pilot reported that the airplane landed hard and flipped over onto its back. The reported winds at the time of the accident were 290-degrees magnetic at 26 knots with gusts to 33 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions and turbulence which resulted in the encountered stall. Factors to the accident were turbulence and the high wind condition.
