Summary
During the landing roll, at about 25 knots, a wind gust from the left caused the left wing to rise and the right wingtip contacted the ground. The propeller contacted the ground, and the aircraft nosed over and came to rest inverted.
The pilot said that he did not observe any sign of crosswind during the approach.
