My understanding of it from Stefan (and as usual I am open to
correction) is that the rudder horn was attached following
instructions in an early draft of the XS manual. A heavy bounce on
landing after the second flight caused it to detach. Current-issue
manuals give instructions for a safe and correct attachment of the
rudder horn.

Rowland
