While taxiing to the runway for takeoff, the right brake became ineffective. The airplane rolled to the end of the taxiway and down an embankment, colliding with trees. During the postaccident examination of the brake system, evidence of an old leak was found at the right brake caliper and brake line connection. Additionally, the master brake cylinder contained only residual fluid. According to the pilot's report, an annual inspection was conducted 1.7 operating hours and about one month prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: inadequate annual inspection by other maintenance personnel and inadequate pre-flight inspection by the pilot.
