That is not a good day at the field sorry to see that. But what is worse you have no idea what happened or do you know.I went flying today! One flight... and one crash. I’ve never had radio issues before but today I lost all aileron control and everything else was intermittent. I kept it airborne for about 45 seconds after the problem started , but you can see the result below. The damage was much more extensive than what the picture shows. Now in the market for a 50cc airframe...
Really sorry for your loss. Odd thing about your crash is "VERY" similar to an "ALMOST" crash my son had on a brand new Pilot Yak. We have been doing the same setup on every bird for years. Obviously 50cc'ers are not as elaborate as our big monsters, but the layout is still pretty close. We have never had a single issue due to our setups. That is until he almost lost a brand new, straight out of the box and build to the air Pilot Yak. When he took off, he had his throttle at a lower setting...and all was well. When he went to a higher throttle setting, the plane just simply went wonky. Totally out of control. Loss of control surfaces, other surfaces spaazing out. He was able to get the throttle back to a lower setting and the plane became totally controllable again. We landed the ole girl safely and shut her down. He went through the entire airframe, setup and components and really never found anything concrete. The only thing he did question was an extension that may have had less than perfect connections. He replaced that extension and off we went again. The plane has been rock solid and flawless since. We figure that the harmonics of vibration were causing a chattering connection in that extension. Perhaps you had a component that originally was fine, but went south without you knowing it. I hope this may help you in some way. I hate seeing anyone lose a plane for any reason. Hang in there....I went flying today! One flight... and one crash. I’ve never had radio issues before but today I lost all aileron control and everything else was intermittent.

If I may suggest I have run into your Delma and was afraid to fly again with all the equipment again. Sent it back to the supplier and they found nothing. Ok this made it even more difficult. So a little while back one of the guys at the club was selling an older 46 size plane he no longer needed. So I bought it and from then any time I have something that is suspect I install it this plane and then fly it for 10 flights I try to tear the wings off and fly it just about out of sight and if everything works ok it goes back into good stuff, it is the only way I know of to give myself a little confidence to use it again. And believe it or not but this method has proven to work for me.
