This is Charlie's plane it was beautiful! He used an old G62 with mag ignition. The plane has gotten " hits" before. He thought he had tracked the problem down and resolved it. Obviously not. It took a hard aileron hit putting it in a roll. The plane didn't have enough speed or authority to recover. It was a large heavy beast but it was beautiful. He was flying Futaba 2.4 which is fine. However, the super long servo leads act like antennas and will send wild signals to the servos. Those little ferrite rings on the leads would have helped but a new style shielded ignition would have been best.

did the servo fail?

So what DID happen?
Sorry, I

@@mikencrcf6018 Thanks for the info, Mike. Always a shame when a nice plane goes in!
