Default What caused your last crash?

My last crash I classified under other. I was flying my tiger 2 off the far end of the runway was preparing for an inverted pass. I rolled inverted at about 50' of alttitude I realized very quickly that I had no elevator. Had a brain freeze didn't react and I watcxhed the plane get destroyed almost asa if in slow motion. Not a 100% sure what caused the crash but it was naroed down to 2 possibilitys 1 servo tray came lose (unlikely cause I didn't notice any yaw at full elevator which would have moved the rudder servo) or more likely wing came off in flight. Not sure because after the crash both items where detached from the plane. This one will forever remain a mystery.
