Hello and help

Hi,My name is Russ and I am just getting back into robotics and automation after a 20 year hiatus. Between the interest in robotics and being an airplane nut, I naturally ended up here. Anyway to my problem:I just maidened my easystar, got one 2 min flight and landing in and then on the second flight as I throttled up the prop left the aircraft never to be seen again....thanks to my natural catlike reflexes (tongue firmly in cheek) I managed a smooth deadstick landing.... anywho is there any…See More
