Analysis
During takeoff roll from a grass covered runway the plt aborted the takeoff. The acft nosed over as the plt attempted to bring it to a stop. The plt stated that the acft did not appear to be accelerating as it should & so he aborted the takeoff. He said that as he applied the brakes the acft flipped over.
