Default Edge 540 over the edge.

This Edge 540 started rolling to the right and elevator control was intermittent. I saw the plane bank on an approach to landing. I asked the pilot, "Was that you? The "no" reply was my queue to fire up the mini-dv I have at the field every weekend. I had enough time on the go-around to frame the plane in the viewfinder. 2.4 radio.
I tape most take-offs and landings. More to come...
