Same way I setup all my jets. I'm not blaming this on the reciever. It has been a very long time since I have centerpunched an airplane due to "magic". Like, this is the first one that I can remember. I have crashed before, but it was obvious (Isobar Pipe collapse exploded the jet, Eurofighter P-160 seized and fire came out the front of the engine, cooked electrical lines, various prop jobs learning to fly).

This is the first airplane I know of that crashed from voodoo that I built and belonged to me (lost one last year owned by a friend and commanded by 14mz).

Either I have been lucky, or built well, who knows. I was over it before it hit the ground, I have ZERO REGRETS, there is nothing I would have done differently now that I know I didn't have my headupmyass.

I spent a few days thinking I did.

It was on a 5400 mah liion recver pack, and same for turbine pack. Through either a duralite reg or MPI, can't remmeber which.

This was not a three second hold receiver reset. The airplane went into lock for over 5 or 6 seconds from loss of control to hitting the ground.

If I had to fasion a guess at this point, I would guess that it was an electrical failure somewhere in the system, maybe inside a servo there was a short? Maybe an extention had a short.

Something like that would be my guess. When I get back next week I will go through all that I have and see if there is anything that is obvious, but I doubt I will find anything.

The front of the airplane is still a foot and a half deep out in the field, I could not pull it out and we didn't have a shovel. The nose gear retract is in there as well along with the strut and wheel.

The batteries are in there too I suppose, when I pulled on the leads, it pulled the leads from the battery! [X(]

Man, it went in good!

GSR, you are spot on!
