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. Rich

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
