Vans RV-7A, G-MROD

Summary:

Just prior to touchdown the aircraft’s left wing dropped. The left main wheel touched the ground causing the aircraft to yaw left and leave the grass strip into some short standing crops. The nose wheel subsequently dug into soft ground causing the leg to bend as the aircraft came to an abrupt halt. The aircraft had probably stalled.
