From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Pilot scanned sky and proceeded to turn when another aircraft towing a glider came up from below the nose of the aircraft. He took evasive action but caught the tow rope with his prop. Other two aircraft released. A safe landing was initiated with minor damage to left elevators.
