- It does *not* sound like interference; that would have caused the control
- surfaces to extend all the way, not remain neutral. The fact that they
- did remain neutral implies no power to either the Tx or Rx. Did you say
- that you checked the controls immediately before that launch? Also, did
- you check the controls at the crash site? Maybe you switched off the Rx
- as you were launching the plane. Is the switch at the point where you hold
- the plane during launch? Also try shaking both the Tx and Rx to check for
- loose connections.
