Flights of a Matt Chapman Eagle 580 in Embry Riddle trim

This awesome flying Eagle 580 met an untimely demise as the ailerons failed to respond to inputs. The failure appears to be caused by an intermittent short in the Y cable from the receiver to the ailerons.

First off let get too the best part 3:26

DamonRosenthal you have great vids and i am subbed too your channel but

im sorry but that just looks like a Pilot error. not a glitch in a Y harness.

Cocky/showoff pilot trying to do a roll on takeoff ....As you know when your upside down....Down is not up.....up is up.

Im sure the Pilot wants too think it was a Y harness glitch or what ever you want too call it.

Sorry am i ranting?if so sorry bout that.

but im just putting my 1/2 cents worth in lol
