we had a member with the same problem, his plane flew away twice, first time about a mile away where a farmer found while harvesting his soy beans a week later, very little damage, broken nose wheel, second time, about a month later and 2nd flight after repairs, found it about 1/2 mile away in a tree right off the road, he's rebuilding the wings and engine area, and buying a new battery, check mine before each flight now
