BTDT's:
  • Forgot to extend transmitter antenna. (Old Ace Pulse Commander would go full rudder on loss of signal, about 30 feet (10 m) out.)
  • Mal-adjusted CG.
  • Dumb thumbs.
  • Flying in adverse weather conditions.
  • Structural failure (wing spar snapped).
  • and most importantly: perfecting the FIgure-9!
