Default 2 planes, same place, same cause, why??!!

today i lost both my plan built autogyro and my trainer.

Both were fine up until after a minute when both of them went into a spiral dive in about the same place in the sky. First my gyro crashed and then my trainer, i checked radio over 3 times with the range check and the radio is fine, can anyone give me some light on this?

looks like i'm gonna be using a lllloooottt of super glue, wood, glue and carbon fibre for the next few weeks! :stupid:

The last time I put two planes in on the same day it turned out to be a "loose nut" behind the sticks. Seriously, I would suspect interference in the situation you describe.
