Aeromaster Heartbreak

I bought a beautiful Aeromaster bi-plane already built from a hobbyshop. It was flown a couple of times before I got it. I took it to the field and took it off and it flew beautifully.
I made about 3 great flights with loops and rolls and then... my friend at the field said lets see it do an outside loop, I of course said no problem here we go...
Well I made it about half way through when the bottom wing, the one with the ailerons, fell off. After diving at the ground I thought "Hey, I can fly it with the rudder and elevator", so I pulled it up just in time to catch a high line and rip half of the top wing off.
It made a beautiful spiralling rolling dive into the very hard earth. It was fun while it lasted...
Oh and by the way my friend thought it was pretty funny.
