Glider flyaway
You are enjoying flying your favourite model and then you realise that it is not responding as it should. You watch it free flight until it hits the ground. Well thats what happened to me last night. It was at about 250 ft and in a right turn and it continued to tighten in the turn until it got into a mild spiral. It hit some bush and fell into the bush on a hill.
Well I didn't hold much hope and the bush is quite thick. There is a road which goes through it and it drove up it until I came around a corner and there it was. I was rapt. The only damage is a broken fin. I suspect the cause is a Turnigy ESC failure. I will replace it. The current ESC still works but runs very hot so that is my theory.
