Default nearly lost it

Well 2day i nearly lost my lanier 35% Giles 202. . I came in for a landing landed it, and the plane just kept on goin no control wut so ever.f ended up in wood, and had is wings clipped 2ft on each end. I have no clue what happend until we began checking over the preflight. turns out BOTH bateries had vibrated loose.I think next time im gonna put wire tie on the battery connnections.

Glad it wasnt in the air when it happened! I always secure all the connectors. It has saved me a plane or two in the past.
