The glider was being launched by an ultralight aircraft. On takeoff, the glider bounced due to elevator anomalies. The pilot detached the towing cable during takeoff and touched down at a high speed. The glider ran into a farm field and was destroyed.
CAUSE: A vital bolt in the elevator control rod mechanism had been improperly built in during manufacture of the aircraft in 1976. During a prescribed maintenance check of that known problem the manufacturing defect was not discovered.
