i know everyone's going to have a pet theory as to what happened, but can I ask the following.

1) did you have the transmitter set up to start each engine individually or both at the same time?
2) did you have a gyro on it that had a heading hold facility on the rudder?

its just the behaviour of the flight looks awful like a rather exciting flight I had one time of my small SM A-10....

I had the engines on a Y cable.

Gyro was the new cortex pro with heading hold disabled. Also on the maiden flight where this same thing happened the gyro was off the entire flight.
