Default RE: Great Saves?

Had one similar to the first post. Throttle got stuck at WOT and because it was a aerobatic type with larger control surfaces I could hear them flutter/buzz badly. The only way to stop the flutter was to do continuous rolls or wave the wings back and forth to slow it down a bit. I flew like that for 5 min or so before it ran out of fuel.

Back on the ground, I had bent the aileron pushrods, the rudder was cracked and the stab root also was cracked. The throttle servo was jammed. Another minute or two and that plane was done for.
