According to the pilot, as he was landing, "the airplane would not touchdown as quickly as normal" and he missed his intended landing point. The pilot determined that there was still sufficient runway to continue the landing. The airplane touched down approximately halfway down the runway. The pilot applied the brakes in order to not overrun the runway and the airplane nosed over. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed the vertical stabilizer and rudder were bent. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper touchdown point and excessive braking, which resulted in a nose over.
