The pilot had recently purchased the glider, and wanted to gain some experience on it, before going abroad for a few weeks of flying holidays.
He went to the airfield of Temploux and prepared his glider for the first flight of the day.
Runway 24 was in service that day. The aerotow was done with a Robin DR/400/180R. During the take-off, the pilot had to react to roll movement of the glider resulting in the LH and RH wing alternatively touching the ground. The movement became too strong, and the pilot decided to release the tow cable.
The glider rotated around the extremity of the LH wing, and the nose crashed into the ground, and fell back on its tail, rupturing the tail boom.
The pilot climbed out, uninjured.
