APRX 2 HRS AFTER TAKEOFF, THE GLIDER PLT RAN OUT OF LIFTING ACTION & SELECTED A HAY FIELD FOR A LANDING PLACE. FROM THE AIR, THE FIELD APPEARED TO BE A SUITABLE LANDING AREA. HOWEVER, AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE RIGHT WING ENCOUNTERED A CLUMP OF HIGHER HAY (APRX 3 FT HIGH) ON A SMALL RISE OF THE TERRAIN. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE GLIDER TURNED SIDEWAYS & THE TAILWHEEL HIT ROCKS, DAMAGING THE FUSELAGE.
