Now I see the two photos of the overall model. What a piece of art! How terrible to read your crash details.

It's hard to say what might have happened as it indeed seems like an odd set of events that transpired. The good news is it sounds as if you're going to rebuild. And with less weight in the tail and less weight overall you will probably have a winner. The trick is finding a way to remove that weight without eliminating details.

If it were slowing down and settling into the corn, my feeling is adding a bunch of elevator might have stalled it right out and spun it in causing even more damage. So maybe you did the right thing and flipping to a high rate might now mean starting from scratch.
