RE: Experience pays off.
It's good for you to let beginners like me and any model no matter how experienced they are aware of problems that constantly put airplanes into the trash bag. I have flown only a few times on my dad's trainer and two flights on mine and i always check to make sure everything is working properly. The two flights on my trainer had very close checks on everything due to a servo horn that was slipping on the servo and crashed the plane on its maiden(It's fixed now). Your near accident is a great reminder for everyone so that they can remember to stay safe by double checking servos and whatever else is critical to that plane for it to fly under your control. Thanks for sharing you story and good job with saving the plane safely!
