Oops, I am glad it was not more serious. Take a look at the video by "Five one" of his friends 51 ride. To me that looks like a good Mustang landing. He is not way too fast, comes in with a flare, and touches down tail low. Very soon the tail wheel is on the ground and he rolls out under control. Any 51 pilots want to comment?

It was very minor. The pilot had a left brake lock on him. No airframe damage just prop tips and probably an engine teardown and inspection. The pilot is very experienced and did a great job keeping damage to a minimal.
