The griffin is a modern pattern plane, all composite.

Peter,

how does an all composite modern pattern plane crack at the edge of the wing tube?

There must have been severe weakening going on in the foam core (I assume wings were foam) or the design of the framed up wing must have had some issues.

Always interesting to see how models come apart in flight. When they touch terra firma in abrupt ways, well, that's all together different.
