... but I don't think wind had anything to do with it. It was the FMS FHX 1280. It had control issues and went in nose first, sustaining too much damage to make repair worthwhile. I took it apart for parts and found a spot where two of the wires from the ESC to the motor had fused together. Some sort of solvent could have done that, and I suspect it happened during manufacturing. This plane did have an occasional glitch, from day one, but I thought that was the fault of my piloting. Maybe not. At any rate, with that fault repaired, I've got all the electronics and the motor ready to transplant into one of the new gliders.
