DURING HIS SECOND LANDING AT KHRV, HE EXECUTED A FULL FLAP LANDING ON RUNWAY 31R. DURING HIS ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE RUNWAY ON TAXIWAY "B", HE APPLIED TOO MUCH BRAKING ACTION AND THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER AND CAME TO REST INVERTED. HE EXITED THE AIRCRAFT UNINJURED. HE ADMITS THAT THE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY APPLYING LESS BRAKING AND ENSURING THAT THE CONTROL WHEEL WAS IN THE FULL BACK POSITION. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO ITS PROPELLER, WINGTIP, WINDSHIELD, AND EMPENNAGE.
