Better late than never...I guess. I did already post this, admit it at the TOC and still have the same story today. I hadn't eaten all day, my Grandfather was in a LV hospital having suffered a heart attack the night he got in to LV, and I wasn't in the correct frame of mind the whole day. I did the upright blender at the end of the field, but I was on high rate aileron and rudder, but LOW rate elevator. Watch the video and you can see the up I put in. When I realized what I had done, I went for the high rate switch and in the process I hit the stick into full down. Again realizing I was running out of everything, I went to full up, but I guess the 3-foot rock burm I crashed into was 2 feet too high. I'll post the pic sometime of the crashed pieces that shows the elevator counter balance broken back (up elevator hit). The servo's still aren't stripped (sitting in my garage).

As for the fire...what can I say? Lithium batteries are lithium batteries, doesn't matter the brand. I've blown my little and big electric packs and watched the 6" flames come out of them. Take one of you packs and go throw it at gas soaked rocks and see what happens.

This isn't the first time I've crashed of pilot error (and another time was at the 96 TOC) and when I do have a failure, and someone asks, I tell them what happened. I've got nothing to hide and I guess at times it gets me in trouble.
