I soloed on my Alpha 40 trainer just about a week ago. Yesterday I crashed. The plane was about 1200 feet from me in level flight at about 200 feet high, when it just nosed over and went in. The charger plug stripped off leaving the 2 leads touching, so the battery was toast when I got to the plane, no way to confirm if it was a battery failure. Someone at the field said that you have to be careful not to point the antenna on the transmitter directly at the plane which is kinda natural to do. They went on to say there is a signal weakness directly in front of the antenna. Anyother advice would be welcome. I'm here putting her back together.
