RE: BIG PROBLEM!!!!
O.K. bad things do happen. I assume that by "the freakin elevator is uneven by alot" you mean that the stabilizer when viewed from behind is not parallell to the wing but tilted, right?
If it's only a matter of 1/4"-1/2" you don't need to worry. For normal flight you will not notice it. If you try to loop the aircraft you will however notice that the aircraft will tend to corkscrew (which you probably won't do anyway at this stage).
