Default RE: Help identifying this classic pattern plane (pics)

The CA hinges just pulled from the slot. Either age or insufficient glue allowed one aileron to come loose but was left dangling by the inner hinge. The airplane was uncontrollable in roll due to this hanging aileron and it spiraled into the ground. Even regular hinge type hinges can also be affected by age or the glue used.
