The pilot reported that he checked the wind conditions via the automated weather, and a visual check of the wind socks at either end of the runway. The winds were calm, and the pilot set-up for a landing. The pilot reported that just before the airplane touched down, a gust of wind raised the left wing. The right wing contacted the runway surface and the airplane veered to the right. The airplane exited the side of the runway and traveled into a ditch, nosing over and coming to rest inverted. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the aircraft at the time of the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind condition. Wind gust was a factor.
