That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N815B's record changes.
The pilot reported that while performing a full stall landing, the tailwheel-equipped airplane bounced and veered to the right. The pilot attempted to correct with opposite rudder, but the airplane continued to the right. He then “tapped” the left brake to turn the airplane back toward the centerline. The brakes immediately responded and the airplane nosed over, coming to rest inverted. The pilot was not injured and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and empennage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
