That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N164LT's record changes.
The pilot reported that he was landing the airplane at a privately-owned grass airstrip. He stated that the airplane bounced on landing, and during the roll out, the nose wheel "clogged" with dirt and the nose gear dug into the soft dirt then collapsed rearward. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing and vertical stabilizer. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane prior to the accident.
The private pilot of the experimental airplane reported that he was landing at the private airstrip in windy conditions. He said that he landed on runway 27 with a 20 knot tailwind and was unable to stop before the end of the 1,100 foot runway. The airplane continued beyond the end of the runway and collided with a ditch. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing. No pre accident mechanical malfunctions or failures were reported.
