Narrative:During a take-off in aerotow, the glider began to oscillate around its transverse axis immediately after take-off and hit the runway hard several times. The pilot released the tow rope and landed the glider next to the runway in a meadowland.
Conclusions
The accident, in which the pilot lost control of the glider during the tow launch as a result of oscillations about the lateral axis, was due to a launch abort initiated too late.
An elevator trim that was set too top-heavy contributed to the accident.
