Default Areo ace making left turns to ground, Help!

This was a great flying Bi Plane, but today it picked up a problem and started to take a sharp left into the ground. Trim won't help and holding the right stick to the right only delays the pain. It has about 20 rough flights on it.Without motors it still glides but with motors FORGETABOUTIT! What do you think? Ron

Sounds like one motor is spinning faster than the other so maybe the controller steering is stuck to the left. Also could be sticking on the inside of the controller.

FIXED! Sound was saying one motor slower than the other but the controller was sending the signal. I sprayed a squirt of WD40 on both motor shafts and GOOD TO GO. Guess motors were running dry. Now they really hum! Flies great again! Ron
