It was a nice day for flying, so me and Ian got the plane out. But after a few minutes of flight, disaster struck! The aileron servo failed and jammed, sending the plane into a spiral dive.

  • Very dangerous to fly so close to those houses no? :-)

  • @xjet Yes it was and I was stupid! Trust me, a mistake I won't repeat...

  • I'd have left the aileron control alone and switched to rudder. I don't know why throttle wasn't cut and elevator still could have slowed the plane down.

  • @dalotel That was exactly what I was trying to do. I cut the throttle immediately when I realized the servo had failed, but unfortunatelly it failed in a fully deflected position, so not even the rudder could help me.

  • madonna a close one :D

  • She kissed the dirt :P
