The pilot made a three-point landing between, '...rows of tall corn - approximately 10' high.' The pilot reported that during the landing rollout, he noticed the left wing contacting the corn. The pilot stated that he applied right rudder but the airplane continued to track within the rows of corn. The pilot reported that the airplane subsequently veered into the cornfield, nosed over, and came to rest in an inverted position. Examination of the wreckage did not reveal any pre-accident anomalies with the airplane and its control systems.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane.
