NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that he landed the tailwheel-equipped airplane at the conclusion of a local flight. As he began to turn the airplane off the runway onto the taxiway, he “lost control” and the airplane nosed over, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane, and stated that he should have applied “more rudder and less brake.”

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s excessive use of wheel brakes while turning off the runway after landing resulting in a noseover.
