THE PLT STATED THAT DURING TAKEOFF, THE MOTORIZED GLIDER HAD JUST LIFTED OFF WHEN THE RIGHT WING DROPPED & HIT TALL WEEDS NEXT TO THE 20 FT WIDE PAVED RWY. THE WEEDS WERE ABOUT 2 1/2 FT TALL. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE GLIDER 'GROUND LOOPED' TO THE RIGHT & THE FUSELAGE FAILED. THE PLT STATED THAT THE ARPT WAS NOT MAINTAINED PROPERLY FOR ACFT WITH LOW WINGS THAT MAY HAVE TO BE LOWERED TO CORRECT FOR WIND CONDITIONS.
