Aircraft; Human Factors; Procedure
I pulled plane out of hangar and conducted a thorough inspection. I checked the fuel level and decided not to add fuel since this would be only a taxi check of the plane. I decided to go through the engine start procedure; warm up the engine and do a high speed taxi to the end of the Runway and taxi back to the fuel pump. Runway XX was recently in use by another cub doing pattern work. After completing the run up check list; I announced on the CTAF frequency my intentions to do a high speed taxi to the end of Runway XX and exit the Runway.I proceeded to taxi onto the active Runway. I reduced power as I approached the far end of the Runway. I applied brakes. At this point the plane nosed over and came to rest on its back. I pulled the mixture to cut off fuel flow; turned off Master switch and exited the plane. The airport manager and some other people who work at the field came to assist. We pulled plane back over onto its wheels and stored it back in its hangar. Airplane suffers some damage. There were no injuries or other damaged property as a result of this occurrence.
Pilot reported conducting a high speed taxi check during which the aircraft nosed over and flipped on it's back after normal brake application.
