The pilot noticed the cylinder head temperature rising. He decided to make a precautionary landing at a friend's grass strip where he had landed before. During the landing roll on the 45-foot-wide runway, the left wing tip contacted 12-foot-high corn stalks. The airplane veered to the left, departed the runway, and overturned. The right main landing gear sheared off when the airplane hit a berm.
Probable Cause: The pilot failed to maintain clearance from crops which bordered the narrow runway.
