its a pity that the R and D on the airframe was insufficient to find the fault, and the responsibility fell on the shoulders of a client to do it.

the pilot in question has an impeccable record with Rc jets. The fact that he was able to bring the aircraft back was astounding, as everytimevthe failed slat moved, it effectively changed the wing type, in effect, reversing the servo constantly.so it was a hands on, brain on job. Anyone else on the controls down under would have lost the model.

you have been warned.
