Summary:
After an uneventful flight, while on the approach to land the aircraft pitched up and rolled to the right. It subsequently crashed into the roof of a barn close to the landing threshold of the airstrip. Swages had failed in four rigging cable assemblies. These four cable assemblies were locally made items, and were not therefore approved by the manufacturer.
