Incident Summary
During a visual approach to runway 15, the pilot of an airplane observed an object that appeared to be a radio-controlled model airplane. The pilot pulled up and banked left in an evasive maneuver, but the object collided with the underside of the right wing.
Pilot Actions
Following the collision, the ailerons became momentarily jammed. The pilot applied force to the control yoke, which freed the controls. The pilot then executed a go-around and subsequently landed the airplane on runway 20.
