Incident Details
A pilot, noticing a rising cylinder head temperature, decided to perform a precautionary landing at a friend's grass strip where he had previously landed. The runway was 45 feet wide. During the landing roll, the left wing tip contacted 12-foot-high corn stalks. The airplane veered to the left, departed the runway, and subsequently overturned. As the airplane overturned, the right main landing gear sheared off when it struck a berm.
Sequence of Events
The pilot observed the cylinder head temperature increasing and opted for a precautionary landing at a familiar grass strip. On touchdown, the landing roll proceeded normally until the left wing tip encountered tall corn stalks lining the runway edge. This contact caused the airplane to veer left, leaving the runway surface. The aircraft continued moving leftward and overturned. During the overturn sequence, the right main landing gear hit a berm and separated from the aircraft.
Damage
The airplane sustained damage from the overturn and the landing gear separation. Specific damage items beyond the sheared right main landing gear are not detailed in the source.
