The pilot was checking the validity of the airspeed indicator during a high speed taxi run on the runway. When he applied the brakes there was no response, and as a consequence the aircraft departed the end of the runway. The pilot received no injuries, but the aircraft sustained substantial damage. A CAA field investigation determined that the plastic brake tubing had failed at the left main wheel brake assembly attachment fitting, owing to a misaligned elbow fitting.
