The end result was predicted the day the worker put this Escapade in the box.
No it wasn't. Like every other plane that goes in for similar reasons, it was ''predicted'' the moment you neglected to perform a thorough pre-flight on an airplane you didn't build.
Geez. He said he wicked glue in the elevator joiner and pulled on the elevator to check. What more do you expect? Great Planes advertises one of the features of this model is prehinged control surfaces. If they advertise this, then they need quality control measures to ensure it's done correctly.
