Default cap 232 crash

Hello Everybody
This morning I was flying my cap 232 when it suddenly went inverted and stared spinning from 100 feet. I had no control at all. The damages are not that bad.
here are the pics:

did ya check your battery voltages? if you had no control, then that's what it sounds like, or battery disconnected. Anyone of those could be a possibility.

It's kinda off subject, but:
Nice plane! Who makes it, and is it a kit or ARF?

This is cap 232 from Graupner. This is an arf. I bought mine at hobby-lobby. They have excellent costumer service. Here is the link:

I hope to repair this plane very soon and be back in the air soon.
