Analysis
The pilot was landing at an off-airport site in a tailwheel-equipped airplane. He said he applied excessive braking pressure during landing, and the airplane nosed over. The brakes had recently been replaced with larger brakes, and he said he should have practiced more after the new brakes were installed prior to landing at the off-airport site.
