yes, thae UC always comes off, a very very week point of all the flip i know of. the fire wall has come off in lille accidents aswell, like in a cartwheel when i fell out of a hover after a tail tap, ie very low. the second time happend the flight before this, it was on a harrier landing that i got too close so i had to ditch it in from meby a couple of onches from my tail to the deck. both tiomes it had just come off the at the top, but ont his quite slow inv spin (took about 5 secs to srom 25 feet, meby 5 turns in total aswell) it came strait off.

and yes, thats always going to be the final word, a 3D palen is ment to fly, not to crash in any means.
