The accident report put the cause as severe corrosion of the spar end metal fittings. Certainly a factor, but if it hadn't oversped (overspeeded?) on launch, it wouldn't have failed. Well, not then, anyway. I knew of a Ka6 which pushed over so violently after a cable break that it landed afterwards - for the last time - with significant anhedral. OK, nothing to do with overspeeding, but a salutory tale illustrating something or other. Ian
