Watching that clip - the model was diving at the runway to start with, so it touched down tail high, and too fast.
Pilot error.
Nice model, though!
if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Actually its not a great strip wind direction today dictated landing down a slope.
His Dad wrote off this later in the day

I dont think the landing was that bad,i think it was the wheel coming off that seemed to do the damage

No it wasnt that would be good at our club surely he needed to come in with a bit of speed with a biplane,extra drag and it was in the right field what more do you want.
