Looks like the stab has sheared at both sides of the fuselage from the photograph. Maybe a defective stab or a basic design flaw, surprised to hear the spar is balsa. I suppose the stabs on this size of model are getting on to be the size of a wing on a Savex L39 and subject to similiar loadings.

Commiserations to Rob on the loss of his Lightning so early in it's career.
