The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, and the fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of directional control during landing with a wind gust, which resulted in a runway excursion and nose over.
