NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that he landed the tail wheel equipped airplane and was receiving taxi signals to exit the runway from ground personnel. He reported that he applied both brakes hard, but the left brake failed. The airplane ground looped off the right side of the runway which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage near the main landing gear. The inspection of the airplane revealed that the left brake was very weak, but there was no evidence of leakage.

NTSB Probable Cause

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