Default Tip Stall

Hi All,

I am fairly new to the hobby. Started last April. I have one electric trainer and three 60 size glow planes. So far they all have survived the summer, with out to many bad events, but I have a question some of you may enlighten me on. The dreaded TIP STALL. After viewing numerous videos and reading many forum posts the tip stall claims many planes. I know that the tip stall happens when the end of the wing loses its lift and the plane drops to that side. But what is the main cause. Is it poor flying on the part of the flier? Is it an improperly built plane? Are some plane designs prone to tip stall? OR ALL OF THE ABOVE???

SORRY, i JUST DID A SEARCH IN THIS FORUM AND FOUND MOST MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED. sHOULD HAVE DONE THAT FIRST! DAAAHHH. I tried to edit this post out but coudn't seem to do it.
