Glider was a Zuni. Crash not observed by any glider pilots. Tow pilot felt the sudden lack of pull behind him, circled back and observed the wreckage a bit east of the runway among homes and bushes. Bummer day.


My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Knauff.
Is it known whether the tow rope failed or did it come out of the release? Just curious.
