I think I remember you putting the flyer on the market before the mishap. Too bad it happened at all. But, good thing this happened to an experienced pilot. You are one of the good guys and I'm glad you are safe!
The nicopress fitting broke which allowed the cable end to release. There are still pictures of the failed fitting on my web site if you wish to see them.

Did that cable slip out of the crimp(nico press)or did it break?

Great landing and piloting (to the extent that you could control the ppc). Probably some luck tossed in there as well.
Glad you pulled through!
Any information on the manufacturer and if there was negligence involved?
