NTSB accident and incident record under N2854L
Aircraft on the NTSB record: North Wing FREEDOM · serial 122EF51076414
The pilot's improper preflight setup of the aircraft's foldable wing, during which he incorrectly attached a nylon strap loop pull handle, instead of the steel cable shackle at the end of the strap, to its mounting hook. The nylon strap failed in flight, resulting in a partial collapse of the wing and the aircraft's descent and impact with terrain.
