Well the news ain't good but at least I took pictures before it went in. Had two great flights then disaster! The plane went out of control on the 3rd takeoff. It is repairable so it's not a total loss but dang I wish it would have lasted at least a week! [sm=71_71.gif]Here is an email I sent to Futaba along with a picture. If any of you reading this has an idea of why it went out of control please post it.
A range check had been done before the 1st flight and after the crash. Both were fine. Before taking off the 3rd time I checked all control surfaces with no problems. Taking off the plane tried to roll right -left aileron corrected this, got up about 8 ft and the plane rolled right completely over- left aileron slowed roll rate, plane continued to roll so I flipped it to high rates and got it back level, cut the throttle and the plane rolled over again right into the ground. This same radio and receiver has been flying two different aircraft at the same field for 2 years without any trouble. The only difference is how I secured the antennas. Attached is a picture of the receiver just after the crash. The brown tube to the right of the receiver is for the aluminum wing tube. Also note the coaxial portion of the lower antenna. If the way it is looped could have caused trouble please let me know
