Narrative:The airplane departed and flew to a private airstrip. The pilot configured the airplane with full flaps, and the airplane touched down left of centerline at 57 mph. After touchdown, the pilot retracted the flaps because of insufficient weight on the wheels, then applied the brakes. The airplane decelerated, and turned left toward a cornfield bordering the runway. The pilot corrected with rudder, but the left wing contacted the first row of corn. After about 30 yards, the airplane turned left into the cornfield; the nose wheel sheared off, and the airplane nosed over. The airplane came to rest inverted approximately 190 feet short of the departure end of the runway. The runway was 1,500 feet long, 50 feet wide, was bordered by 6 foot tall corn on either side, and sloped in the landing direction. It was also sloped to the right. The airplane's wing span was 36 feet wide and flight control continuity was established. The pilot had 600 hours of total flight experience and 14 in make and model. He was landing to the south and into a crosswind.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain direction control of the airplane.
