GLIDER PLT HAS LOSS OF ACFT CTL DUE FAULTY AILERON HOOKUP.

Narrative

I HAD REASSEMBLED THE GLIDER ON RETURN FROM HEMET; CA. SINCE THERE WERE NO OTHERS AT THE FIELD WHEN I FINISHED; I GAVE THE AILERON CTL HOOKUP A PERFUNCTORY CHK AND WENT HOME. ON JUN/XX/94 I PREPARED TO FLY THE GLIDER FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER THE RETURN. I PUSHED IT ONTO THE RWY AND CLBED IN. AFTER GETTING READY (SEAT BELT; RADIO; TOW LINE HOOKUP); I GAVE THE CTLS A FINAL CHK FOR PROPER MOTION. THEY RESPONDED CORRECTLY. AFTER TKOF; THE GLIDER DRIFTED R; AND I WAS UNABLE TO BANK BACK TO THE L. I PROMPTLY RELEASED AT ABOUT 50 FT; ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT I WOULD LAND IN THE DESERT. THE BANK SLOWLY INCREASED TO 10-15 DEGS; AND I TURNED ABOUT 90 DEGS BEFORE IMPACT. THE R WING HIT FIRST; FOLLOWED BY THE FUSELAGE AND L WING. THE TAIL CONE SEPARATED. I SUFFERED SCRATCHES AND BRUISES ON MY LEGS AND FOREHEAD; PLUS 1 PUNCTURE WOUND IN THE ANKLE. THE GLIDER IS TOTALLY DESTROYED. THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS THE FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONNECT THE AILERON CTLS; COUPLED WITH AN INADEQUATE PREFLT CHK OF THE CTL INTEGRITY. THE GLIDER WAS ONLY DISASSEMBLED AND REASSEMBLED ABOUT ONLY 2 YRS; AND I FAILED TO BE MORE CAREFUL ON THE LAST ONE. AS USUAL; I KNEW THE OTHER THINGS I SHOULD HAVE DONE; BUT DIDN'T DO THEM.
