Bungee launched 3m Pierce Aero Paragon sailplane
Fourth flight of the day. Catastrophic failure of the launch system (or pilot error?). The tow hook refused to detach from the plane, when the plane was over the anchor position of the bungee, it began in a complete vertical dive from 300 ft. Front section of the plane is re-kitted.
Filmed using onboard Flycam1
