What happened
A solo private pilot was conducting a flight intended for several touch-and-go landings. During the initial takeoff roll, the aircraft began to veer slightly to the left of the runway centerline. In an attempt to correct this deviation, the pilot applied right rudder; however, the aircraft continued to drift left. Upon applying additional pressure to the right rudder pedal, the right main wheel brake locked up, causing the aircraft to nose over.
Following the accident, the pilot discovered that he had been inadvertently depressing the brake pedal with the heel of his shoe during the takeoff roll. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage. There were no injuries reported.
