Default DECATHLON crash and BURNED

Well, yesterday i totalled the decathlon due to a glitch which i believe is caused by a faulty reciever switch....At full throttle, the vibrations are so intense, i think its the cause of the nasty evil glitches that happen on ALL the servos.....
Believe me, i checked EVERYTHING from metal to metal contacts, reciever antenna wires, isolations for the reciever and nothing....I even swapped crystals...
So the glitch started and put the poor decathlon into a graveyard spin where i had no control and WHAM!!!!!!! It hit the ground from about 100 feet....To my great luck, everything (but the plane) survived so the replacemet shall be on its way shortly...
As for the fuselage of the evil glitch master, it took a match and some 89 octane to perform the exorcism....
Click on the photos and enjoy...
