Default .40 sized GP Extra 300s Weakness

I never was concerned about the thin,light horizontal stabs on this model until yesterday. Just after a clean flat spin, when I had the nose down, and the revs stopped, I went to level out and found the left horizontal stab had folded up. Using any elevator just resulted in a snap roll dive right into the bean field. Maybe I'll try to fix it, maybe not. The break was right where the LE and TE sticks meet the solid piece about 3/4" from the fuse. Easy on these tail feathers.
