According to the pilot he was attempting to land on runway 26. During the landing roll a gust of wind looped the airplane to the right. The pilot added power and attempted a go-around. The left wing struck an embankment and the airplane nosed over, causing substantial damage. An examination of the airplane's systems, conducted by the FAA, revealed no anomalies. The winds were recorded as 290 degrees at 25 knots with gusts to 32 knots.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing. Contributing factors included the pilot's inadequate in-flight decision making and the high velocity, gusty winds.
