Default RE: Great Planes Reactor in Flight Elevator Failure on First Flight

Probably a defect in the balsa, or could have been caused by a defective glue joint, the bad glue joint causing excessive flex which could cause the elevator to buckle. Certainly an unusual problem! Contact the manufacturer, Great Planes, they should be able to do something about that.
