This was the damage after a light aircraft came down in France today. Light, wast the airplane made out of paper? Looks like somebody gently laid it down on the roof.

No numbers, so it just came out of the garage for a shakedown ... obviously low and slow on the idea of a storch

used to get Mussilini off a mountaintop by Anna Weis in ww2.
If he was flying into the wind ... it is conceivable he could've placed it right on top of the roof.

Yes it looks like one of those extreme ultra lights.
There is so much parasite drag in the airframes that they have almost no glide ratio. I watched a YouTube on one where his little engine died and they drop like a rock.

Not that gently. You see any landing gear? No, me either. That’s because it punched through the roof.
