Six touch and go landings were uneventful. During the seventh attempted landing, the aircraft nose gear collapsed upon initial touch-down on the rwy. The aircraft sustained damage to both propellers, nose landing gear, and nose fairing assembly. There were no injuries to the pilots or other persons.
