Well fellas..... She's gone.... We got the entire thing on video. The servo lead to the elevator got caught by the gear on approach. You will see in the video that the elevator is gone. Somehow by a miracle I saved it from roadside disaster. Then flew over some house behind the club. Made it back and put it down.

Had a slight pitch up with no elevator. Stuck between a rock and a hard stone. If I cut power, it would stall and spin in. If I kept power on, it climbed. Had to bank back and forth and rudder the nose down to get it to come down. Craziest thing I have ever done. Here is the video.
