RE: Crashed and not exactly sure why
I may have missed this because there is a lot of reading. There is a possibility that you stalled the elevator which would result in a snap.
I am curious. You state that throttling up on take off the plane turns right? It should turn left due to the torque which would require right rudder. There could be an issue there???
Anyway, I hope you get is sorted out. I have learned the hard way about elevator stalls.
