RC airplane "Malej" crash

My first flight with onboard camera (808 keychain cam) with my RC plane made of balsa. The plane is my own construction, wingspan 600mm, flying weight 380g. Something happened a few moments after departure in a sharp turn. The plane felt into a spin causing the crash. In my opinion it happened because of the camera mounted on the upper side of a wing which caused asymmetrical airflow around the airfoil and was the reason why the "inner" wing in my turn stalled. During the nose down fall I released the rudder and ailerons and pulled back the elevator but it I was unable to recover the airplane from the spin. The airplane was not damaged after this crash, only terribly dirty of mud. After bringing home and cleaning the whole engine it was ready to fly again.

In the video you can see me walking around and looking for the cam which felt of the wing during the impact. Next time I will mount the cam in the middle of the wing above the fuselage.
