post pics of your trainer planes!
Well,
The groovy plane had her second serious crash today. It turns out both of the last 2 crashes were a result of a stripped servo sprocket. The right aileron was all the way down and on takeoff, plane rolled right and cartwheeled down the runway. I was taking off with crosswind and all it took was a little left aileron to send the plane rolling left. I wish I had inspected the servo gear closer after the first crash (only Monokote damage and servo housing) go figure. This crash ripped the tail feathers off and the wing. Good thing those nylon bolts shear off as designed. Well I broke my first prop too. I learned an important lesson about checking servos after a crash. Although my pre-flight did not show anything up, a pressure test on the ailerons would have found it immediately. Well, I am working feverishly and think I will have it airworthy by tomorrow, believe it or not. Good luck all!
