  I had this plane for quite a while.  Mainly because I took several years off of flying.  This was my 1st low wing aircraft that I successfully flew.  The plane met it's demise one day in Temecula when attempting a tail slide it is estimated that the receiver crystal dislodged from the receiver.  The reason this is suspected is because that's the way the plane responded (or didn't respond) and the fact that the crystal was found separate from the receiver.
