What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On August 07, this blanik L-23 was being towed to flight at 6MN9. After take-off roll the tow aircraft experienced an inability to generate sufficient power to maintain a successful tow operation. The tow aircraft then radioed pilot of blanik L-23. The blanik pilot reports hearing "I can't make, I can't make it" from the tower operator. With an available landing opportunity in sight the blanik L-23 pilot released the tether from the tow aircraft and landed in the pasture adjacent to 6MN9. Minimal damage to blanik L-23 could be observed. Damage primarily found on wing surface. Note: pilot of blanik L-23 is regarded as ancillary to the incident. Tow aircraft and operator are viewed as primary cause.
