Comet 1 Difficulties

[cstorey]

I have been flying this lovely new model, which hand flies rather nicely, until....

Several times on very short finals at perhaps 20 feet AGL, Airspeed good, Attitude ok , Power OK , Autopilot disengaged , there is suddenly an enormous pitchdown which cannot be overpowered resulting in a crash. It feels like runaway trim, but I have a feeling it may be due to autopilot settings

I do have the Nav/gps switch enabled, but it happened before I made that alteration as well

Any ideas please?

Hello Chris

I've been using the Comet 1 quite heavily since she came out. I've ended up stringing my trip to Hong Kong out into a world tour. I've reached Dallas so far, after having popped in on such exotic locations as Kamchatka, Nome and Las Vegas! I've also enabled the Nav/GPS switch but I haven't experienced any problems at all, especially not the one you're describing.

Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Interesting :o it seems the Comet 1 has misterious troubles, like the original
