Narrative:

Experimental amateur built aircraft on first flight. Departed runway after second landing, stopped in snow. Slight damage to left gear leg, propeller, cowling. Likely caused by application of left brake after firm landing. Pilot's transition from seaplanes (no brakes) and citabria aircraft (heel brakes) to this aircraft equipped with toe brakes may have been inadequate.
