The accident occurred during a local VFR flight.
After takeoff from runway 27, the pilot flew northwest to search for thermals. The pilot did not find sufficient thermals and turned east to return to the airfield.
After a short time, the pilot assessed that the flight altitude was not sufficient to perform a normal landing run, and the pilot decided to perform an out landing in a field north of the airfield.
The pilot was aware that the landing would be downwind, as the landing direction was southeast and the wind conditions were approximately 290° and 5-7 knots.
The field had approximately one meter high corn crops and across the landing direction was a slight downward slope from left to right.
During the landing phase, the left wingtip struck the grain. The glider made a ground loop to the left and crashed.
The accident occurred in daylight and visual meteorological conditions (VMC).
