Default AMA blues

I checked the battery by leaving the plane on for about 30 minutes then moving the controls. Next I discharged the battery with the Dymond cycler and found it to still be well charged. The radio still works great. Again, we're not talking about an isolated incident involving loose controls, dead batteries, stalls, etc. This has happened to all of us at the field at least once. We are veterans of other clubs where we never had any problems whatsoever. Once a few weeks ago I left another plane turned on the ground without the transmitter on and suddenly the controls started moving on their own...not just twitches, but full deflections...and then it quit and didn't happen again the rest of the day. So we're kind of suspecting sabotage at our new site. I'll keep you posted.
