Default World Spitfire 70

Hello,
I had about 30 flights on my WM Spit before it went in. I found the entire tail feathers had come off. I just turned base to final (WELL ABOVE stall speed...16.5mph with a radar gun) and the model pitched up and rolled inverted and went in. I was able to get the power completely out before it hit. The wing came off and the tail feathers came off. The was no damage to the tail at all and there was a factory glue joint that had no wood left stuck to it, so the jury says the tail fell off. I have it all back together and it should fly again in the next couple weeks.
