NTSB accident and incident record under N12053
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Schleicher ALEXANDER · serial 7205
The pilot’s improper decision to conduct aerobatic maneuvers in a glider not approved for such maneuvers. Contributing to the accident was the degradation of the adhesive holding the wing together, which should have been detected either during the last annual inspection or preflight inspection.
