Oh, so sorry to hear that, Robbie. Tough break on that one for sure.

Did you remember to bind the RX with the throttle at idle? That sets the 'fail safe'.

I flew a member's SSE a few weeks back. He took off with it and was having a terrible time with it. I asked him if he had trimmed it yet, his reply was "Trim.. hell, I can't fly it!!!". A little chuckle but I asked him if he wanted me to take over for him, he answered by sticking the transmitter in my face.. ha..

I smoothed it out, and climbed up to 3 mistakes high altitude. I did a roll and the thing whipped around in about 1 second. Violent was the word. I did a loop.. and it just about did a vertical rotation in it's own length.. again, violent.

I checked to see if it was on high-rates, nope.. it was set up that way. Jeech..

I managed to land it.. the elevator was soooooo sensitive.. but got it down in one piece.

We then proceeded to make several adjustments to linkage, end points, and set up dual rates for him, and added some - expo, and took off.

It made all the difference in the world. He was able to fly it now. Wow.. that first flight scared the hell out of me!! He had been flying for only about 6 months and was definitely not ready for such a capable aircraft.

The SSE is a great plane.. if set up properly and in the right hands.. otherwise.. it can be a real torture trying to get it to calm down in the air. They want to fly, for sure.
