Default RE: 4 Star 40 building has commenced!

Im happy this thread has helped others.

I had about 40 flights on the ole 4 star and the engine (TT Pro 46) was tuned in nicley. All the electronics seem to be operating correctly. I have a theory the battery came loose and offset the CG or got tangled in with the elevator servo. I did not have the battery secured very well. I was into a gradual left turn when she just kept thru the turn and rolled over from about 40 feet. I never did find the battery after the debris clean-up.

I just wish I took more pictures of the ole girl before she went down.
