Subsequently, the airplane came to rest inverted off the right side of the grass runway.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the empennage and right wing lift strut.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
