Default RE: Tip Stall

My first crash was due to a tip stall. I was 10 feet off the ground and and dropped the throttle to half, put the wings perpendicular to the ground and tried to do a quick 180 using the elevator. I got about halfway through the turn and next thing I know the plane was cartwheeling through the dirt. I never saw it coming and it happened so fast I didn't even have time to blink.
