Same thing happened to my partner in the ASW17/23m we had due to a
universal coupling failing at one of the rod ends in the left wing.
Ground checked okay, but failed on final. Some damage to the wing
underside and a hunt for parts, but we were flying the mighty 17 again
before long.

We had the same happen in a ASK-21 on final. Looked spectacular, but
fortunately the rear-pilot was experienced enough to keep calm.
Touchdown was a bit sideways but rather normal - no damage.

Reason: after rigging the plane it was checked by someone who did not know the
(then new) Hotelier connections on the '21. ouch... and the person he asked to
check his work later forgot....

Cu around and happy landings!

Markus
