Here is a pic after the canopy blew off 4th flight during a wide open double snap. But before that the plane flew great after re tuning the motor for cooler weather.

flew three times today with no problem. 4th flight on take off the reciever locked out and put the plane in a wide open climbing circle. Chased it in a truck for 3 miles. when it hit the jet stream it changed directions and we lost it. people on the grond saw it come back over the field still wide open still climbing. they lost sight of it and finaly herd the motor die. Didnt find it say the least. I think this might be a sign that its just not meant to be.

You ever hear about failsafe? 20 seconds of prevention could have made sure you would find that plane... and make sure the motor was at idle.. or cut off!

Yeah i guess that is what happened. Sorry for snapping back at you as well. I have two regualtors two batteries two switches completely redundate all of which are fromeco. I dont know what actually happened. I took off and made a left hand bank corner and about 25 ft on the other side of the field i had no controll at all. it was locked in a left hand bank slowly climbing. I programed the failsafe when i built the plane. Im using Futaba Fasst 2.4 10c radio with the 8 channle high speed reciever. Im hopefully going up in an ultralite tomorrow to look for it.

sorry to hear that ken, it truly sucks when you loose a plane. it really sounds like a power failure, but with a redundent system it's almost impossible.

A servo fighting will eat up some power so it still could be a power failure. Were these a123s? What muffler system were you running cann or pipe; mabe there was a heat related issue? Also one battery can fail in such a way to make the other drain also. I hope you find the cause it will be easier to replace the one issue than to trash all of the eq if you can find them.
