Here's one that I was hoping to never have to post. But as we all know, even these precious treasures have an unmarked expiration date. It happens that for the Vertigo, it was July 13, 2013.
The exact cause has not yet been determined. It appears that either the regulator or receiver quit. Right after takeoff, gear up was the last accepted command. The aircraft then rolled about 170 degrees over onto it's back, and pitched straight into the ground. It is a total write off.

I have pushed this up to the powers to be withing RCU. I understand that this has gone on for a while and assure you that they are concerned about this and are trying to clear this up. Please be patient.
It would help if, when you see problems like this pop up, that you PM me or RCKen about it. Ken is the forum manager (manager of all of the forums) who is working with the RCU management and IB Software folks to get problems fixed. There is supposed to be a serious software update that, from what I hear, is supposed to have enhancements that are supposed to make things much better. Like you, I just want what is here to work.
Thanks for understanding.
