Next trip to the field all ready to go. Smooth takeoff and climbing turn to downwind. Then… wing wag, pitch up and down. No control. I chop throttle and it goes in.
The post-Mortem didn’t reveal anything - all working. Took pieces home. Tried radio again and I noticed if I turned a certain way radio would act squirrelly or not at all. What I noticed was my 2.4 antenna when pointing right at plane - bad. Lesson learned. I ordered a new Seagull Ultimate. Should be here by end of the month.
