Sheared the strut if I have read the report correctly. Amazing how the damage is only to one blade.

My initial thoughts from looking at the photos were one of the blades may have 'slaped' the top of the Cubs wings leading to a fabric failure.

I've always thought the Robby blades were a bit fragile - got a bit more faith now. Sad way to find out though.
