Narrative:THE ACFT WAS A RECENTLY MANUFACTURED, HOME BUILT PLANE THAT WAS EQUIPPED WITH BRAKES THAT WERE DESIGNED FOR A MUCH LARGER (PIPER PA-23) ACFT. THE PLT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE TOO SENSITIVE FOR HIS ACFT, A SKYOTE. ALSO, HE EQUIPPED IT WITH A HIGH QUALITY SEAT BELT, BUT DUE TO THE BELT'S LARGE PAD, HE COULD NOT PROPERLY TIGHTEN IT. DURING A LANDING, THE ACFT BOUNCED & HE SLID FORWARD. HE FELT THAT THIS CAUSED HIM TO APPLY EXCESSIVE BRAKE PRESSURE. THE ACFT THEN NOSED OVER & WAS DAMAGED.
