Narrative:
Due to lack of thermals, the pilot wanted to start the installed auxiliary engine. Since this did not succeed, the pilot decided to make an outlanding in a meadow. During the roll out, the glider turned around its vertical axis. This caused the fuselage behind the wings and the outer right tailplane to buckle.
