Sequence of Events
The pilot, having returned to the departure airport, completed a standard traffic pattern for the active runway. Following touchdown, the pilot endeavored to expedite the landing roll and vacate the runway at the first available turnoff. This action was intended to provide clearance for the aircraft that was landing behind. During this process, the tail wheel and rudder initiated a shimmy motion. In reaction, the pilot moved the control wheel forward. Subsequently, the pilot applied brake pressure with the aim of making the turnoff. This caused the airplane to lurch forward, and it ultimately came to rest in an inverted position on the runway.
Pilot Report
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot additionally reported that the accident may have been prevented if he increased his yearly flying time and flew with an instructor more frequently.
Damage
The wings, fuselage, and rudder were substantially damaged.
