Not sure if that plane was sabotaged, or if the builder was completely...
...incompetent. Pretty sure you still have inspections that track along the build, even with experimental aircraft.

Step 1: Are wings mechanically fastened to fuselage?**
**Duct tape is not considered a mechanical fastener. If "no", reject. If "yes", move on to step 2.

This is like the scene in Old School with Killborn and Piven
Remember that scene in Old School when Craig Kilborn is smoking and loses control of his car going over a bridge and lands on Jeremy Piven who is fishing below. Kilborn plays the jerk who hits on the catering staff while dating the Godfather's girl. Piven plays the Dean at the school and is an equally bad jerk who kicks the Old School guys off campus. Karma.

Those ikea instructions can be tough to follow.
Be careful if you end up with extra parts at the end.
