My first flight in a spitfire resulted in me flipping over on the runway, my apparent mistake was to test the engine with full throttle with the brakes on.  I was under the mistaken belief that this should be done to see if the engine was to cut out when reducing power.

One thing nobody seems to have mentioned. Hold the stick hard back while running up the engine to anything like full power with brakes applied or with the wheels chocked. Most taildraggers will end up on their nose if you don't.
