Now that the season is here, this is my 1st of the season. And hope its my stinkin last!!!!
It was a bit gusty but I had already given the U Can Do 46 one flight. 2nd flight, all was okay and was bringing it in on final and was just at the point of turning it right to get on the approach. Had about 20 feet or so altitude and had the plane moving slowly.
All of a sudden, the SOB dipped and looked like it flipped over. I cut throttle and down she went. Upon getting to wreckage, I picked up the pieces.
Post Mortem:
Checked all six servos, futaba rx, battery and switch, and all the servo extensions and "Y" connectors. All worked fine. This leads me to believe one of 3 possibilities for crash....
1st, wind gust. The U Can Do is a light craft and the wind will screw with it.
2nd, linkage failure. I did have one quick connect. Generally, I only use 'em on the throttle and never on any control surfaces. I can't remember if it was one of the elevator servos or I had it on the rudder servo.
3rd, somebody turned on their transmitter (one guy at the field does fly on my channel. I did have the channel flag). He may have done it by accident. However, I can't be certain and am not blaming anyone.
I believe it was either wind or linkage. Plane is total'd and all the guts have been taken out and are going into a Smith Bi-Plane Experimental. However, I now have an extra OS .46. Hmmm....I'm thinkin a Staudacher 300L which will fit the bill nicely!!!
