Cool airplane, too bad it ended up on it's nose.

It floated more than the pilot expected, with the result that he had not nearly enough runway to stop. That, coupled with the reported right brake failure cause the plane to exit the runway overrun to the left...

 

...into soggy wet grass, where the plane not-so-gracefully flopped on it's nose damaging the spinner and both props. Oops!

Because it WANTS to fly!  :smile:  Which is good due to the radical design. Bummer that it's going back to the workshop.
