The failure was due to fabric on this plane. Many will say that checking

Did they say why the fabric failed? I didn't see the reason for failure.
Met your Dad at Lakeland. Enjoyed talking with him.

John,
Looking at the top photo and blowing it up, it appears that the fabric did
not fail. It looks like the fabric was not lapped over the leading edge of
the horizontal stabilizer/elevator. Instead the fabric started on the
alumunium D tube just a head of the spar. One can see that the spar area is
not polished and appears to be the bonding surface. Everything ahead of
this on the D tube seems to be polished. It looks like the bond failed some
were on the top or bottom. Once an edge picked up it presurized the inside
and finished the job.
The owner told the FAA he was flying an ultralight vehicle. But after
Googling him, I found that he had mounted an HKS engine. So go
figure.
