The pilot reported that during landing, after returning from a maintenance facility, he encountered a quartering tailwind that "made the airplane drift left of the center." He corrected with right rudder, then applied left rudder which produced a right skid. Subsequently, the main landing gear encountered a "muddy area of the [grass] strip." The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted, resulting in substanial damage to the airplane. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane during the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during landing, which resulted in an encounter with wet/muddy terrain and a subsequent nose over.
