Not the first time this has happened - the Eagle and Strike Eagle have both had issues with moisture weakening (repeated freezing/unfreezing) the honeycomb elements of both sets of stabs.

What happened after that.
Not seen any reports of a crash, so I assume he landed safely. Hopefully.
What, did you say a bit fell off? :8
