N1011Z

On June 7, 2000, at 1530 central daylight time, a Starduster Too SA300 tailwheel-equipped experimental airplane, N1011Z, was substantially damaged when it nosed over during the landing roll at the Spicewood Airport near Spicewood, Texas. The private pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. The airplane was registered to a private individual and operated by the pilot. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight, and a flight plan was not filed. The local flight departed from the Spicewood Airport, approximately 1500.

According to the pilot's statement, he executed a "three point landing" on runway 35. During the landing roll, the right main landing gear departed the right side of the runway. The airplane pulled to the right as the "wheel bogged down" into the mud. The pilot was unable to bring the right main landing gear back on the runway with the use of the left rudder and left brake. As the airplane decelerated, it nosed over and came to rest inverted. The left upper wing, rudder, and vertical stabilizer sustained structural damage.
