2 Ultra Sticks in 3 days
Poor me. I crashed 2 sticks in three days. First one went in in very windy conditions after probably 100 flights, I really don't know why 
. I hurridly built second one 
and it went in on the 10th flight 
. Upon very CLOSE inspection it was determined the elevator clevis came loose. It was a stock, hangar 9, nylon clevis secured with a piece of fuel tubing. The tubing was still intact, but clevis departed control horn. I should mention I was doing tight loops with flaps coupled. Low, flap 30 degrees down, no elevator = spectacular crash
