That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N180JL's record changes.
The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the landing roll on the flat, soft dirt, dry lakebed, he "could not get full deflection of the left brake as it felt as if something were underneath the pedal." The airplane veered to the right and the right wing struck the ground. The airplane bounced and subsequently the left wing struck the ground. When the airplane stopped, the pilot could not find any objects that could have impeded the range of pedal movement.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
