  1. So…what type of aircraft? Ultralight? Cessna / Piper trainer? Old Warbird re-pro?
    Increased wing loading on a home-built / ultralight that exceeded the limitations?
    Other structural failure?
    We need to know what type and make of aircraft it is, so that we can inspect the others of the same type and manufacture to exclude the same from happening elsewhere…!
