Witnesses reported that the aircraft was taxiing to the active runway when the aircraft veered off the taxiway, hit a sand dune, and nosed over. The student pilot reported that the aircraft's right brake failed and the aircraft veered to the left and departed the runway. An A & P mechanic with inspection authorization examined the aircraft. He reported that the right brake functioned properly, but that the left parking brake spring was not adjusted properly, allowing the left brake to be activated at all times.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's inability to attain directional control of the aircraft due to an improperly adjusted parking brake spring.
