Here's a current accident we CAN speculate on :)

Well I guess that could not be classified as a disappointment anyway. Still would love to see those models fly too.

Not really. It was good enough to see the craftsmanship up close.

As far as your control problems go wouldn't be the first time someone deliberately caused a RC flier problems with a transmitter. When I was messing with the hobby years ago we had some problems over a period of time and caught a guy sitting in his car with a transmitter screwing with us.

I have a neighbor friend into the RC and RC Drone hobby and he told me that the new transmitters and receivers all use frequency hopping and are immune to jamming.
I had a RC M4 Sherman Tank 45 years ago and had occasional jamming problems (probably with CB'rs) but that was primitive compared to today's technology.
