Last week I had what seems to have been a radio glitch. I was flying all day fathers day at my local club. Later in the evening on a flyby I went in to a half cuban. I went inverted and when I tried to pull out I lost contact with the plane. The plane went in to a downward spin, it would not respond. Right before hitting the ground I was finally able to get control of the plane, but it was to late. The plane hit hard and cracked the fuse and broke the wing tip. I tested the radio/servos after the crash and everything worked fine. I easily repaired the damage and re-covered the plane.

I went out yesterday to get the plane back up in the air. I did a range check and it seemed to be ok. My first flight went fine, the plane responded with no problems. On my second flight it happened again. Half way though the flight I was flying by at half throttle at about 150 feet. when I went to turn I had nothing, the plane kept going straight and the lost altitude and crashed. Tested the radio and servos after the crash and everything was working fine.

I ran the plane on 5 or 6 different occasions before any trouble started. Never had any glitches before the fathers day incident. I also have another plane I fly on the same channel and I have never had a problem. Could this be a receiver malfunction?
