Flew the Apprentice for the first time this morning. Had a problem...the damn thing just kept
climbing. It would turn just fine, but pushing the 'down' lever did almost nothing. Finally, afraid
it was going to fly out of sight, I just cut the power. Gravity, thank God, still works and brought
the plane down. Once low enough I hit the panic switch, which leveled the plane, and brought it to a
(rough) landing.

But, nothing broke!

Turns out the upward curvature of the horizontal stabilizer was not supposed to be there. This was
noticed by another Apprentice owner at the school. The bowing of the stabilizer was keeping the
elevator from moving properly, but seemed to aid in the climbing of the airplane.

Horizon Hobby, when told of the problem, said they'd have a new horizontal stabilizer in the mail
Monday. Their customer support is great. I didn't buy the plane from them, and didn't save my
receipt, but the part will be on the way soon.
