The airplane then nosed over, resulting in substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane's flight control systems.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper landing flare that resulted in a hard landing on soft/grassy terrain.
