NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that, after touchdown, "too much brake was applied" and the tailwheel equipped airplane nosed down, struck the propeller, and came to rest vertically on its nose and right wing tip.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s use of excessive braking during the landing roll, which resulted in the airplane coming to rest nose down.
