The right aileron was completely pulled off the wing. Three of the CA hinges were still in the aileron and 2 were still in the wing. All the hinges had wood stuck to them on both sides where they pulled out.
When I installed the ailerons I pulled the aileron at each hinge to test for secure attachment. I thought this happened at impact because the plane was flying so good and the spiral began at a fairly slow speed but I guess it's possible that it just let go at that time. I just assumed that the radio failed. There were no other loose or broken mechanical connections.

I like the idea of putting a cowl on the plane and mounting the engine sideways. I was unable to view your attachment (page not found).

Thanks
Cecil
