The tailwheel airplane sustained substantial damage when the airplane exited the runway during landing and nosed over on impact with a standpipe at a private airpark. The flight instructor stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane in reference to the flight. His safety recommendation stated, "As instructor I should have acted earlier [and] more aggressively."
Probable Cause: The pilot not maintaining directional control of the airplane during the landing and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action. A factor was the standpipe the airplane impacted when the airplane exited the runway.
