This is a video of a friend's RC plane crashing. the plane is a Lockheed P-38 lightning The RC NTSB concluded that there were two factors that brought the plane down: The engine cut out, obviously, but also upon inspection of the wreckage, it was discovered that the flap servo was missing the reverser, causing the flaps to act as ailerons in the same direction in which the engine was cut. So when the engine went out, the pilot hit the flaps, but they acted as ailerons causing the plane to spiral down. Even if the engine hadn't cut out, there would have been a crash on landing.
