Default gp extra 300s

Well, I had gone from a flat and level 3/4 throttle pass over the field into a moderately squared climb (where I think it broke), got some altitude ,then I went for my favorite high RPM flatspin (done this a hundred times before), for some reason it took lots of right aileron this time to flatten the spin, and the instant I ended the spin I noticed I had two vertical flight surfaces and only a right stab. If only I had more altitude, I might have been able to get enough airspeed to get back with half the tail surface. I ended up belly flopping it into the soybean field. It was fixable, but GP replaced it anyway, after about 4 months of backorder, that is. Sold the new one to a buddy, I'm playing with gas now.
