Default Rear engine crashes

I had a Longeze from Nitro Models that was a great plane to fly with a .53 size engine, but when it hit the ground because the Canard control linkage came off, the plane EXPLODED. This was a rear engine pusher configuration until it hit the ground nose first. The engine goes through the fuselage and takes out every thing in it's way. I wish I had a camera to show the crash site, but I could not have done more damage with a sludge hammer. Oh well, may the pieces (VERY VERY SMALL PIECES) rest in pease.[&o]
