[NSRCA-discussion] Free Stuff From Genesis Crash

[Ronald Van Putte]

I once saved an Ugly Stik for a guy whose airplane suffered aileron buzz (the uninformed call it flutter, but that’s another story) and disconnected the servo from the ailerons.  I flew it with rudder only and landed it safely.  He complained because the prop was broken during the landing!
