Flight Events
While in flight, the pilot heard a "flapping sound" and decided to land at a nearby airstrip to inspect the aircraft. Abeam the windsock, located near midfield, the pilot noted that the sock was limp. Already on the downwind leg for runway 26, the pilot continued in the pattern for landing.
Landing Attempt
The pilot reported that the aircraft was a little high on final approach, so a slip was performed to attain the correct altitude. Just prior to touchdown, the pilot felt a tailwind gust that pushed the aircraft. The landing was continued, and the aircraft touched down about one-third of the way down the airstrip.
Accident Sequence
After touchdown, the aircraft rolled for a short distance, then became airborne again, subsequently touching down about three-quarters of the way down the airstrip. During the landing roll, the pilot stated that "...a combination of rough field, tailwind, and braking led to the tail coming up past the point of no return, and on her back we went..." The aircraft then nosed over and came to rest inverted. The pilot reported wind gusts from the east, with gusts of 8 to 12 knots.
