The pilot said that just south of Overton, Nebraska, the airplane's engine started running rough. The pilot said he elected to land on a corn stubble field. "I touched down normally and on roll out the aircraft contacted a snow drift and went over on its back." An examination of the airplane's engine revealed that the number 4 cylinder exhaust valve guide was sticking and the exhaust valve was not seating properly.
Probable Cause: The open exhaust valve. Factors relating to the accident were the sticking exhaust valve guide and the snow drift the airplane encountered during the precautionary landing.
