Yup Throttle responded ok, once inverted and nosing in i cut power....Torque did not affect it running down runway, but once in the air up 50 feet.....beautiful torque roll..heheheh, I can laugh now since I cried al last night hehehehe.......

retracts are air up air down. single servo operated so NO i would say retracts are not a factor. I used Dual MPI on/off switched with built in power meters, with Dual 6v 2200 mAh packs in parallel. So RX was ok. Fail safe was ruled out. Even after wreckage was gone over, voltage was still OK using two diff meters.

My mind is dead on Torque Effect once it left the cushion of Ground Effect.
