Default Structual Failure

A friend of mine was flying his brand new RichModels Extra 260. While flying he experienced structual failure in the empanage. He managed to get the plane on the ground sucessfully with no additional damage. He informed the vendor and they refused to do anything for his almost loss. They blamed the incident on him and said he exceeded the structual limitis of the airframe. This I can atest is not true and upon eximination of the airframe it appeared that an abundance of glue joints in the tail section had seperated. Is there any recourse my friend can take against the vendor?
