Default Most common crash reason?

The very first flight on my Extra 300 I got a radio hit while I was flying too slow on final who ever it was that turned on the radio made my extra snap spin right into the ground honest, I also got a radio hit once when I was practicing reverse control with my ailarons on my SE. But the worst this year was when the guy turned his radio on when I was flying 15 foot circles with my leetle uproar at about 5 feet of altitude, when he turned his radio on it made me push the stick forward when I wanted to pull it backward and the throttle went wide open (Webra speed 50) when I know darn well I pulled back on it. When the guy turned his radio on when I was flying my ultimate huh get this, it completely drained my battery was I mad.
Yep... Radio hits, wind, and Aliens...

I had a Alien unplug my battery pack just before my Staudacher went into battle with a 40 foot Oak.... Also, just the other day that darn wind got me on takeoff with a WM Cub... power stuff, that darn wind... snapped that cub hard into the terra firm... About a week ago, someone turned on a radio, and it caused my beautiful extra 300 to cartwheel down the runway... I couldn't find the felon, because it was just two of us at the field at time.. and the other fellow was flyin' his Kaos when I got the radio hit... I bet it was an alien on channel 30... that's it... time to change crystals...
