On March 1, 2024, at 1243 eastern standard time, a Cub Crafters PA18-150 airplane, N143CC, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Edgewater, Florida. The commercial pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 banner tow flight.
After dropping his banner, the pilot stated that while on short final approach to land, and approximately 20 to 30 feet above the runway, he heard a loud snap, the control stick went slack in his hand, and he lost aileron control of the airplane. The airplane rolled to the right, and the pilot utilized the rudder and elevator in an attempt to control the airplane. The airplane went in between two airplanes that were on a taxiway and impacted the side of a hangar, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings.
A postaccident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that one of the aileron control cables was broken. The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.
