More likely servo failure.  I think the control arm popped off when the prop/tail hit the ground.

It's strange... I've tested the servo and it's ok.

Did you test it under load?  But, like you said, it takes a lot of force to get the servo arm to just pop out.

No, but I have a 3A UBEC (max 5A) and it usually consumes less than 1A.

Yes! They are. After a lot of crashes I've broken only one GoPro and it still works partially :)

I noticed after all that it did manage to correct itself somehow and land on its belly. Really amazing crash.
