Just read about a Jodel variant, a (factory built certified version) Robin DR250 loosing a wing in Galway Ireland killing its' occupants.
Initial reports were that a wing departed the aircraft, but later accounts say that only a portion of the wing or a control surface broke off and some modicum of control was being effected on the descent. (Something I'm not entirely convinced of due to the undisputed high speed of the impact.)
I have a bit of an interest in the type (not building one ( yet, got too much on my plate now as it is
), just interested) so I was wondering if anyone had any more info out there?
