Default First crash

I had my first crash and it was a humbling experience. It was the fourth flight on my Global Freestyle. I am not sure what happened but when I took off it became very roll sensitive and I realized that the aileron hi/lo rate switch had somehow flipped to hi. I got it up and turned but still lost control. It was totaled. I do remember glancing at my transmitter, which was probably a mistake, to look at the rate switch, but I was so busy that I didn't ever switch it to low. After the crash I checked the battery and there was an intermittant connection, but that could have happened because of the crash.

If anyone has a Global Freestyle kit for sale, I would be interested.
