So I finally maidened my Showtime today. Flight lasted about 1 minute and in the pond it went. We arent sure what happened but my buddy said the ailerons seemed to suddenly reverse on him. I dont get it. The airframe is intact. Stripping everything and letting it dry for a few weeks . Im guessing i should send all electronics to manafacturer for bench testing. What do you guys think? Stuff did get wet. Just took apart the engine and letting it sit in Rubbing alcohol overnight, and will bathe in fuel tomorrow for reassembly.

Its so dissapointing.

I did notice one thing. about 6 inches of the antenna was dragging behind the airplane. Looks like it got caught up in the tail wheel and wore away some of the housing and frayed some of the wire as it dragged over the runway. Is this something to be concerned about? Should I just get a new Rx? This was new to begin with.


Any tips on drying a plane out? Any help on getting this thing back in flying shape would be appreciated.


So bummed!
