Coo, it was wrapped. Don't know if I just didn't have it in all the way or what. I read that unlike Futaba, the reciever plug for the crystal on JR is tapered inside. The recievers attitude in the plane was with the crystal end pointing aft. and on falling out of a hover, I applied some up elv. at about half throttle to fly out and thats when it started looping. Perfect loops. On track with no deviation. Took about 10 min. to come down. Lost about 4 or 5 feet with every loop. After a while I gave up on the sticks and we just talked for a while, watching. After investigating the remains, the crystal was found out of its jack. We put the crystal back in, turned it on and applied input. Holding input, we pulled out the crystal and the surfaces locked in that position. I never thought to tape a crystal in. This one is. Joe
