I'm looking at the amount of balsa left on the hinges and thinking: "they should have been strong enough to survive at least one flight, unless it was a very high speed dive, or they were already broke loose before he took off". Does anyone agree?
That DID occur to me. Flutter may have contributed as well. But there does appear to be a serious lack of glue there. And once one hinge lets go, it won't be long before the others follow
