Narrative:The pilot and his passenger were en-route to Bloemfontein, but lost control whilst at 5000ft, regained control, and then intended to do a "possible-precautionary" on a small-holding, but clipped a telephone wire and were forced to land on a hedge bordering a neighbouring property. The tail boom was severed and the two pieces fell on either side of the hedge.
