This is really ugly.


In the course of figuring out how to design a glider, I have picked
through the wreckage of many sailplanes, including no few

stall/spins.
And I don't think I've ever seen a stall/spin result in that much
forward fuselage damage. At least not in a metal glider.

Thanks, Bob K.
