Rangerman,
Back in the day, all of the servo's, (or most of them) sat over the cg in neat little trays. This kept them close to the rx so the cords were always long enough. Now a days, you have servo's out in the wing, and back near the tail feathers for lots of different reasons. Bottom line is servo extensions are far more common than when I use to be in the sport.
When you use either a servo extension or a mixing pot, or any kind of servo combiner wiring, you really need to secure the plugs so they can't come apart. I have done it on every plane I have, I completely spaced it on this one. I usually use shrink tubing, but you can tie them together as well, I just don't think it's as neat as shrink tube.
I am thinking that a servo came unplugged so when I went into my turn the roll continued. WHen I tried to go the other way, all it did was slow the roll down. THe roll went pretty fast. The other mystery was that the rudder was fully locked left. So I don't know what happened, I am hypothesizing. I have also thought, "did I stall it?" But I was cooking right along and the turn was like all the others, Nice and groovy. THis one just kept turning over. I am still thinking I amight have had one helluva hit that locked everything up.
The black box is still missing. 
Tim, I am pulling the onboard glow off, the weight might just even out, I will see though. I want to keep it close top the same weight.
Tom
