The pilot, who was also the owner and builder of the tailwheel equipped biplane stated that the purpose of the flight was to perform a 'final checkâ of the airplane's engine and operating systems. The airplane performed 'properly,â and he landed 'without issue.â The pilot further stated that at low speed during the landing roll, his foot 'became lodged between the bulkhead and the brakeâ which resulted in a sudden misapplication of the brakes and a nose over event, which fractured a wing strut and substantially damaged the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadvertent application of the brakes during the landing roll which resulted in a nose over.
