Narrative:
On the late afternoon of jul/xa/06 I was involved in an incident. I was flying a UPF7. After landing rollout and a smooth touchdown; the aircraft came to rest on the propeller nose down; left main gear and left upper wing. I was landing runway 21 with a 10 KT right crosswind. In the transition to a tailwheel going to the deck; I applied too much left pedal and brake pressure shifting the center of gravity and pivot point to the main landing gear. The tail lifted off the deck and the aircraft came to rest nose down. On inspection after the incident; the propeller was cracked from the weight of the aircraft resting on it. The upper left position light was also cracked. I believe that less brake pressure and securing the stick aft would have prevented the incident.

Narrative: ON THE LATE AFTERNOON OF JUL/XA/06 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. I WAS FLYING A UPF7. AFTER LNDG ROLLOUT AND A SMOOTH TOUCHDOWN; THE ACFT CAME TO REST ON THE PROP NOSE DOWN; L MAIN GEAR AND L UPPER WING. I WAS LNDG RWY 21 WITH A 10 KT R XWIND. IN THE TRANSITION TO A TAILWHEEL GOING TO THE DECK; I APPLIED TOO MUCH L PEDAL AND BRAKE PRESSURE SHIFTING THE CTR OF GRAVITY AND PIVOT POINT TO THE MAIN LNDG GEAR. THE TAIL LIFTED OFF THE DECK AND THE ACFT CAME TO REST NOSE DOWN. ON INSPECTION AFTER THE INCIDENT; THE PROP WAS CRACKED FROM THE WT OF THE ACFT RESTING ON IT. THE UPPER L POS LIGHT WAS ALSO CRACKED. I BELIEVE THAT LESS BRAKE PRESSURE AND SECURING THE STICK AFT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE INCIDENT.
