Probable cause

The failure of the left brake which resulted in a ground-loop.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that he landed the tailwheel-equipped airplane and was receiving taxi signals from ground personnel. He reported that he applied both brakes hard, but the left brake failed and the airplane ground-looped. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage near the main landing gear. A postaccident inspection of the airplane revealed that the left brake was very weak, but there was no evidence of leakage.
