I have a computer radio and I'm running each aileron servo into a separate channel on the receiver. The acted like it just flat out locked up. I was inputing full right aileron but it kept rolling left. Just locked up. Just plain weird. On the ground and every time before no problems. Even ranged checked it and it was rock solid after the crash. I'm gonna check the battery, switch, etc., after I fix the firewall and remount the engine.

If you are running a PCM receiver you might want to check your fail safe. It may be set to full aileron deflection. If you are running PPM (FM) all bets are off. Also, not surprised that both channels failed since the way you have it setup one is a slave to the other. Whatever one does the other is going to do the opposite especially if the master channel is the one that went nuts.
OH congrats on the hovering!!
That is VERY cool. Now, just take off and start working on those rolling harriers. The only way to learn is to do it. I started out by sitting in front of the TV with my transmitter just working on muscle memory.

I must have spent 2 months doing that everytime I sat in front of the TV. After that, about 100000000000 on the sim and at the field rolling harriers are just as easy as flying straight across the field. Just takes time and fuel my friend.. Time and fuel.[8D]
