Default Right wing said bye-bye

This is a crash only (no rebuild here):

My old faithful decided to retire itself after many years by folding it's wing during a snap roll. The right wing floated down and wound up 100 yards from the rest of the plane.

I guess I needed a little more up elevator to flare for this landing or should I say lawn jart. By the way I did throttle back for the touchdown!!!
