| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot/owner stated the pilot in the right seat completed the landing but had applied 'too much forward stick.' He assumed control of the airplane, and while performing remedial actions, he had applied too much brake pressure, which resulted in the airplane 'slowly' nosing over and coming to rest inverted. The pilot/owner and his copilot were wearing 4-point harnesses and were unhurt, but the airplane was substantially damaged.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misapplication of brakes during the landing roll which resulted in a nose-over event and substantial damage to the airplane.
