(-23) George bean fico, FAA, 17777 n perimeter dr, scottsdale, ax 8525 george bean; sir this is a report of 49 rv glassair model SH2R sn# 347 total time on aircraft 738 hrs that you requested. On jan 13th at 3 pm on a return flight to Taylor AZ from eloy AZ after landing I was letting the aircraft roll out as I was slowed down to turn into the ramp. When I applied the brakes to steer into the ramp either the left brake failed or the right brake locked up causing the aircraft to veer to the right enabling the gear to give way and fold up. Broke the drag brace, bent the half fork, and the oleo strut on the right side. Left side broke the attach point of the drag brace. Cosmetic glass scrapes to wing up, wheel pants and under the back of the fuselage. Ronald f. vance privacy data omitted
