According to the pilot, the glider broke to the right during winch launch. After releasing the rope at an altitude of about 30 metres, the glider continued the right turn it had already taken and diverted against the direction of take-off in order to approach a field in this direction for an outlanding. During the landing with a tailwind of about 10 km/h, the right wing made contact with the ground and the aircraft performed a 180° turn around the vertical axis, whereby the fuselage tube behind the cockpit broke and the landing gear was torn out of the fuselage.
