During the landing roll, the airplane yawed to the right, and the pilot overcorrected to the left. He then applied right brake, and the airplane nosed over, coming to rest in an inverted position. The vertical stabilizer and rudder were substantially damaged. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during the landing roll and his excessive use of right brake, which resulted in a noseover.
