The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that, during landing, he positioned his feet on the heel brake pedals and applied wheel brakes. When the airplane’s tail rose, the pilot’s heels remained on the brake pedals and the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The wing struts and rudder were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
