Sorry to hear that, and glad there wasn't too much damage.
Is the plane powered by a gas engine?
If so, it might be RF interference from the ignition, which in severe cases can cause the Rx to go to failsafe.
Care to share some info/pics of your setup?

I was able to reproduce the problem just now.
Newprop (ouch) charged batteries. Ground range check was excellent. 90. DB at 10 ft. 80db at 100 ft. The rssi never dropped below 75.
I set the failsafe to idle and full up elevator so I could tell visually if signal was lost.
As soon as the engine started the receiver went to failsafe. Checking telemetry of rssi showed 0. No control of anything, which makes sense.
Killing the engine did not return control. Rssi remained at zero.
Switching RX off then on returned control.
I broke the original spark plug and replaced it with a non. Resistor plug.
I figured with 2.4G and spread spectrum asst, didn't need to sorry about electrical noise.
WRONG.
Resistor plugs are on the way.
Also CH ignitions is sending me a plug shield.
Hope this helps others.
