Anyone have an idea how the ailerons were removed?
That's an easy answer.

They tore off!

They are held on by a series of timber hangars and they would have easily sheered off under the impact.

If I'm not mistaken that aircraft used to be blue and was owned by Brian Naylor or his son.

Who said Rotax 912's never stop??????

It was an 80HP 912 so in theory should have kept chugging along for a very long time without issue so interested to hear that it was "spluttering."
