The pilot said he had received an endorsement to fly conventional (tail wheel, fixed landing gear) landing gear airplanes earlier in the week. He and his wife were returning to their home airport after refueling the airplane at another nearby airport. He made a three-point landing to the south. As the airplane was rolling out on the dirt runway, it veered left onto a plowed field and nosed over.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane. A contributing factor was his inexperience in aircraft type.
