Narrative:

The aircraft had landed on runway 29, the wind was 10 KTS at 310 degree. The aircraft was rolling to a stop when it drifted to the right. When compensating for the drift left braking force caused the aircraft to nose over and stop the wooden propeller. Only the propeller was damaged, and no injuries occurred. Only damaged pride. The situation occurred due to improper use of the braking system.
