Curious, you mentioned that this is the second time you did this exact same thing.

It's a perfectly normal reaction to give up elevator, , new pilots tend to want to pull up too far when they get into trouble but fail to have the airspeed/power to complete the manuever succesfully, then comes the stall, one wing drops, so now aileron is added which further aggravates the stalled wing and now it drops the wing even more, so more aileron is added, and now you have an accelerated tip stall. Next thing is the sound of breaking balsa because you are nose high, probably at least 45 degrees or more, out of airspeed and at full power (yep it's easy to stall at full power), one wing is stalled and dropping

I know, I have been there. I blamed it on myself at first and after some thought I realized what I had done.
