I had the same problem once. Luckily I was close to home. I was about 100ft altitude and luckily again I happend to chop the throddle and quickly realised it was a motor. I'm curious if full left aileron, full left rudder and gentle throddle would be enough to fly the plane home. I would like a way to turn off 1 motor in flight just to practice some manuevers:)
I'm currently using an Easy Star with rvosd, but your videos maky me want to go back to a twin star.

Yea, after this accident I was thinking about getting separate channels for the two motors, so that I could switch one off. I run out of free channels though... I think it should be possible, provided no strong wind. I need to practice that bit as well. Actually my twinstar is way overweight, so I'm currently working on giving it a larger diy wing for the new season :)

Couple of reasons why I couldn't get back: 1. the plane was way too heavy and it didn't really want to glide, 2. there was strong turbulent wind, so it was very unstable at low airspeeds, 3. only one motor failed on this twin-motor plane, so as soon as I applied even little power it started rolling.

That would be scary. Why couldnt you glid back to home? Did you find it? and in one piece?

We went to the spot over 2km away, as indicated by last recorded GPS position, but couldn't find the plane for hours, and only succeeded in find it thanks to my friend who flown his own FPV plane, and found my wreck from the air! That was a nice search and rescue mission :) Unbelievably, my plane was unharmed as well :)
