Ouch, on your aircraft - hard to see so much of your life trashed.

On the noseover - is the kinetic friction of aluminum on concrete (or asphalt) lower than that of AL on grass? I don’t know. Of course, one ditch, and you WILL noseover.

Always land WITH the furrows...

As to friction on asphalt vs grass, not sure, but I think the prop is the issue.

"This is N106DF right after her first flight. That is the taxiway. The runway is in the background. At this angle the left sponson is blocking the N Number."
