Just wondering I once saw a crash through loss of elevator. The time from loss of elevator to impact will have been less than 10seconds. Horrible but quick. I saw a glider loose the horizontal in the landing flare, 20 some years ago.. It pitched up and rolled left before the wing dung in and spun the aircraft around nearly hitting me. The pilot is still flying nearly every Saturday, and is one of the local "heroes". Funny side note, I watched that landing as the weekend before that same pilot had ground looped and nearly hit me as I was putting my bird back in box.
