Did you happen to have any telemetry data, either at the time of the incident, or before in previous flights?... That could tell a story. Especially in development and initial flights, it would tell you if there's any weak signals, or how your signal and system is performing.

After the fact it's harder to diagnose, as much of it is lost when the system powers down, but I'd be interested in seeing a flight log if you have telemetry.

You mentioned the transmitter, but what receiver, battery, servos(how many and what model#), any IBEC in the plane? Was it a glow or gas engine?... just alot of questions there that make it hard to offer much insight. The more info you share, the more feedback you'll get.

It sounds like what occurred wasn't necessarily instantaneous, but might have took place over several seconds time.

Sorry about your plane man. I hope you get it figured out.
