## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)ON LANDING AT ELBA ALABAMA AIRPORT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT SANK AS THE LEFT GEAR COLLAPSED. THE LEFT WING TOUCHED THE RUNWAY AND THEN THE RIGHT GEAR COLLAPSED,BECAUSE OF THE SIDE LOAD, FOLLOWED BY THE NOSE GEAR. THE  AIRCRAFT HAD A BAD JOINT AT THE FORWARD ATTACHED POINT WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE.  THE OWNER STATED THAT HE HAS STARTED TO SELL PARTS OF THE AIRCRAFT BECUASE HE DOES NOT TRUST THE GLUE THAT HE USED IN THIS AIRCRAFT.  THE OWNER STARTED TO BUILD THIS AIRCRAFT ABOUT FOURTEEN YEARS AGO.  THE OWNER SUSPECTS THERE COULD BE OTHER GLUE JOINT PROBLEMS WITH THIS AIRCRAFT AND HAS STATED THE AIRCRAFT WILL BE DESTROYED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
