Horizon Hobby - Viking Model 12 280 UMX - Flight w/ Crash Due to Bad Left Aileron Servo!!!

Flight starts at 6:18 / Crash due to bad left aileron servo at 7:18

Hopefully Horizon Hobby can help make it right to me.

The left servo has been working, but as I approached to perform a simple hammerhead, the plane wildly pulled into a spiral of death, crashing into the ground with the LEFT SERVO LOCKED UPWARD. In the video at , or about 7:18, you can see all four ailerons simultaneously pointed upward. We caught this a few times at pre-flight inspections, but always got it to settle down and work fine, until this flight. It's really frustrating, as I had just finally got my new batteries from Hobbyking, and the plane had more than ample power now, and it was flying GREAT until the aileron servo screwed up.

I will choose to give Horizon Hobby a chance to offer a solution. They are usually very good about this type of customer service. They fight for a good reputation and I think they really deserve it. Let's hope they come through for me on this one.

Thanks for watching!

P.S. The thumbnail is where you can see ALL 4 ailerons pointed upward simultaneously. Note that they are attached to the same channel on the nano-lite receiver.
