Had another dead stick on my 87" today. Was holding a hover about 50' high, loving how well it locks in. All of a sudden, the plane falls tail fist about 20'!
I got the power on, and she climbs out, once I leveled out and backed down on the gas a little, the engine died. I nosed her over and brought her down for a deadstick greaser landing. It was pretty nice if I may say so...
Anyway, after landing, I check the tank and it was half full. Figuring it must have been a bubble in the fuel line or something, I tried in vain to start her again for 10 minutes. Humberto suggested I look at the throttle servo.
When I did, this is what I found;

Should be an easy fix. Glad I was in a position to land. :)

Got some more cool pics of the 87" Today:
