That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N4581M's record changes.
The pilot/owner stated the pilot in the right seat completed the landing but had applied “too much forward stick.” He assumed control of the airplane, and while performing remedial actions, he had applied too much brake pressure, which resulted in the airplane “slowly” nosing over and coming to rest inverted. The pilot/owner and his copilot were wearing 4-point harnesses and were unhurt, but the airplane was substantially damaged.
When asked if there were any mechanical deficiencies that would have prevented normal operation of his airplane, the pilot/owner replied, “No, none. Not at all.”
