Looks to me, the video shows happening what I described. Though just at the end of the turn to final, where I expected this to happen a little earlier, more at 2/3 of the turn to final.

At the very first few seconds of this video, the F50 seems to be in a shallow bank to the left at the end of a turn to final. And then suddenly the F50 starts falling out of the sky, just mushing down with wobbly wings.

The turn to final with lots of tailwind on landing is really dangerous. Don't believe those fairy tales about "not loosing airspeed, when turning final". It needs positive action to avoid losing airspeed.

(And the same applies for a quick turn-out to cross-wind when taking off with a significant headwind, before you know, you are upside down.)
