WTF? Hit the brakes too hard?

 

[Bobby Breeden]

Mass is too high up for aggressive braking. It does not look like he had the gear raked forward but that is a really nice cub and a dang good pilot. Everybody makes a mistake once or twice. I bet he will be back up and running in time for Valdez.

Hard on engine mount/tubes I bet with that configuration when it hits ground.....

And again a sign for a TOOOO light tail. The tail was not heavy anough to get it down and hold it there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel sorry for the guy. Looks like a nice experimental Cub with slatted wings (and new double slotted metal flaps??) and uber-extended gear to take advantage of said wings. I'd surmise the plane was optimized for ultra slow high angle of attack landings, not wheel landings.
